About

We are a Swiss-based company with core expertise in underwater robotics, through-water wireless communication networks and underwater navigation. We have started this journey back in Australia over 15 years ago where we put together our first portable underwater drone, Serafina. Years later we found home in Lausanne, Switzerland, the cradle of fine manufacturing.

​

Having a passion for ocean exploration and how big data is changing the world around us, we quickly realized that there is still a significant gap in our understanding of the oceans. Hydromea develops products and solutions that allow customers to have autonomous high-speed and high-volume subsea data access in real-time. We render cables obsolete, make previously prohibitively expensive projects affordable and keep humans away from risky jobs by combining autonomous robotics and wireless communication network systems. This presents a paradigm shift in affordability and speed of subsea data access. Importantly, it takes human risks to zero.

The Founding Team

Sustainability

At the heart of all what we do at Hydromea lies our unwavering passion to enable people and the planet to thrive. Our underwater technologies are transforming operations at sea by offering greener, smarter and safer solutions.

We see the future of the marine industry being completely automated and electrified, with robotics technology at the core of all that. Be it a legacy offshore oil site, a newly built wind park or a growing sea farming operation, underwater robots will enable continuous monitoring of the submerged assets. 

This shall significantly improve overall efficiency of the operations and remove the need for polluting support vessels, each currently releasing on average over 10’000 tones of CO2 annually. Remote operations will keep people in the safety of their onshore control centers, staying closer to their families and providing for more quality time in their communities.

We are fully aligned and support the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically driving our efforts towards these three:

HYDROMEA IS ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW TALENTS!​

​

Portable underwater robotics is on the cusp of an ocean exploration revolution. Hydromea leads the way with its disruptive technologies that have already been deployed at over 4’000m depth in the Pacific Ocean, under ice in Russia and in a number of subsea construction jobs in the North Sea.

Are you passionate about exploring the ocean? Touched about saving lives? Excited to be part of the team that brings the world’s first wireless underwater drone into the world?

Join us in breaking boundaries in autonomous robotics and wireless communication underwater. This is the last frontier that is still much less understood and explored than outer space. And yet the whole humanity relies on it for its existence. Start your pioneer mission with Hydromea!
