Alteia: European AI Visual Intelligence for Dual-Use and Defense Autonomy

Alteia SAS is an innovative Toulouse-based AI software company whose visual‐intelligence platform transforms aerial and ground imagery into actionable infrastructure insights. Founded by veterans of France’s aerospace and drone sector (a spin‐off from drone maker Delair ), Alteia has rapidly gained traction with major utilities and industrial clients (such as Enedis and Aramco ).

Its core technology ingests diverse sensor data – from drones and satellites to fixed cameras – and applies computer-vision and machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies (like vegetation encroachment on power lines) and enable predictive maintenance.
