Introduction: A French Startup Making Waves

In an era where GPS signals rule outdoor navigation, Wheere, a Montpellier-based startup, dares to go where no GPS has gone before: indoors. With a breakthrough indoor geolocation system, Wheere can pinpoint your location with under one-meter accuracy, even through up to 50 meters of concrete walls — without relying on conventional satellite signals. Revolutionizing Indoor GPS with French Ingenuity


This French innovation is poised to transform spaces like hospitals, subway systems, industrial zones, and mega-events by enabling seamless positioning where traditional GPS fails.


How It Works: Technology That Sees Inside

Wheere’s system uses low-frequency wave emissions paired with a proprietary algorithm to track movement with impressive precision. It only requires four antennas to cover a square kilometer — a minimal infrastructure footprint for maximum indoor coverage. The solution is fully independent of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), offering reliable tracking even underground or inside complex environments.


Why It Matters: The Potential of Indoor GNSS Independence

  • Precision — Sub-meter accuracy through concrete makes it ideal for underground or multi-level locations.

  • Scalable — Four antennas cover wide areas; perfect for industrial or large public spaces.

  • Safe & secure — Enables emergency teams and facility operators to navigate complex indoor layouts.

  • French-engineered — Local design, manufacturing, and testing reflect France’s growing role in deep tech.

Other Noteworthy French Innovators

  • HyPrSpace’s "Baguette One" — A Bordeaux-based startup developing the world’s first reusable microlauncher rocket, backed by €35 million in government support, aiming to launch payloads up to 250kg from French soil.

  • A selection of French startups included in the French Tech Next 40/120 class of 2025, which collectively generated €10 billion in annual revenue and created over 42,000 jobs. Nearly half are already profitable, spanning AI, climate tech, quantum computing, and more.
