🇫🇷🇺🇦 In Ukraine, firefighter rescue robots intervene after air strikes: this is the mission of Colossus, designed by Shark Robotics, a start-up of the French Tech 2030 program.
In Kyiv, 40 robots funded by France are now supporting Ukrainian firefighters and rescue teams, who are on the front line during the most dangerous interventions.
Developed in La Rochelle, they take over in areas that are too risky for staff: they protect rescuers and speed up operations. A French technology that has become indispensable where every minute counts.
"These robots have saved more than one life of rescue personnel," says Andriy Danyk, director of Ukraine's State Emergency Service.
This is a major step forward for our technological sovereignty, and proof that French Tech knows how to act where the needs are most critical. [LinkedIn] #LaFrenchTech
