About us

Seevia is a Physical AI company that turns real-world data into knowledge and action.

We believe the next generation of artificial intelligence will go beyond digital data to understand and interpret the world around us.

We develop our own technology that connects both worlds to help cities, infrastructure and mobility systems operate in a smarter, more efficient and more sustainable way.

Our story

2023 | From research to market

Seevia was founded as a spin-off of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid to turn years of research into solutions with real impact. Its founding team brings experience in computer vision, advanced perception, artificial intelligence and autonomous mobility, with a clear mission: to turn data from the physical world into actionable knowledge.

2024–2026 | Laying the foundations for growth

In its first years, Seevia consolidated its activity alongside leading companies in urban services, automotive and advanced mobility. The experience gained drove the development of its own solutions and platforms such as Seevia Waste, Seevia Drive, Seevia Horus and Seevia ATLAS, expanding the company's capabilities in digitalisation, intelligent analytics and asset management.

At the same time, its participation in national and European R&D projects, together with new lines of work in driver assistance, teleoperation and 3D digitalisation, strengthened the foundations of a growth model built on its own technology, continuous innovation and in-depth knowledge of its clients' business.

2026 onwards | From startup to European benchmark

Having validated its technology in real-world environments and launched its first own platforms, Seevia is entering a new stage focused on growth. The company aims to become one of the European benchmarks in Physical AI, developing technology capable of connecting the physical and digital worlds to transform the management of cities, infrastructure and mobility systems.
