Past and future
Their story
On April 8, 2004, Alexandre and Laurent Sauvage founded Leosphere after winning the Innovation Prize of the French National Agency for Research Promotion (ANVAR). In order to create the company Leosphere, the two brothers signed a license and collaboration agreement with the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE), which is shared by the CEA and the CNRS, with the aim of using their lidar technology for commercial purposes. Leosphere's ambition is to quickly become the European specialist in atmospheric measurement by Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging).
