Lium is an innovative company specializing in the monitoring and security of sensitive industrial sites. It was born from the desire to protect these sites while respecting the environment.
Lium was founded in 2021 by Guilain and Thomas, two engineers passionate about technology. Together, they created Horus, an autonomous tethered balloon capable of continuously monitoring SEVESO-classified sensitive industrial sites.
Since its inception, Lium has been committed to transforming industrial safety by combining technological innovation, risk reduction, and compliance with environmental standards.

To secure
to decarbonize
Lium has a dual mission :
To secure and decarbonize sensitive industrial sites.
Through its innovations, the company minimizes the risk of accidents and reduces the environmental impact of industry. Lium works tirelessly to ensure a safer and more sustainable future.
Thanks to this investment, Lium will optimize its R&D and intensify field testing. This fundraising marks a key milestone for the company and strengthens its mission: to secure and decarbonize sensitive industrial sites through innovative and autonomous technology.
In 2024, Lium raised €800,000 to accelerate the development and commercialization of Horus, its autonomous tethered balloon dedicated to monitoring sensitive industrial sites. This fundraising round was supported by Ava Capital, Valeureux, Aerospace Angels, as well as descendants of the Montgolfier brothers, and was backed by BPI, BNP, and CIC.
Lium is currently in an active research and development (R&D) phase to optimize Horus, its autonomous tethered balloon. The objective is clear: to offer a reliable, high-performance, and easy-to-deploy industrial monitoring solution. The team is following a step-by-step testing strategy to validate each component.
