Founded in 2018 as a spin-out from Australia’s prestigious CSIRO research organization, Emesent emerged from over a decade of groundbreaking robotics and autonomous systems research. Co-founders Dr. Stefan Hrabar and Dr. Farid Kendoul recognized the immense potential to commercialize their cutting-edge drone autonomy and SLAM technology.

From seven founding team members to over 130 professionals today, we’ve achieved remarkable growth in just five years. Our global footprint spans more than 40 countries with 300+ customers, including industry giants like BHP, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, and Glencore.

We’ve secured over $35 million in funding, including a $32 million Series A led by Perennial Partners with participation from Tiger Global and TELUS Ventures. This backing validates our technology’s commercial potential and fuels our global expansion into new industries.

Our evolution from “mapping the inaccessible” to empowering clients to “see more, know more, act now” reflects our commitment to delivering actionable insights that drive real business outcomes. We’re not just capturing data – we’re enabling transformative decision-making.
