About Seetrum
Seetrum operates as a fabless high-tech company, originating from research conducted at Tsinghua University. The company was formally established in September 2020, building on a significant technological milestone achieved by its core team in 2018: the development of the world's first snapshot CMOS hyperspectral imaging chip. This foundational work stems from the Micro/Nano Optoelectronics Laboratory of Tsinghua University, established in 2004 by Professor Yidong Huang.
Read full description
The firm focuses on the design and provision of advanced spectral sensors, leveraging a computational spectral technology platform. Its core business involves creating miniaturized, chip-level spectral sensors that are characterized by high integration and low cost. These products integrate thousands of tiny spectrometers onto a small chip, enabling rapid spectral imaging. Seetrum's business model is centered on providing these advanced spectral sensors, complementary AI algorithms, and comprehensive intelligent sensing solutions to a global clientele. The company has secured multiple rounds of financing, including an angel round of tens of millions of yuan in November 2020 and a strategic investment from Will Semiconductor and Hikvision in June 2021. A subsequent Pre-A round in late 2021 raised hundreds of millions of yuan.
Seetrum's product portfolio is designed to serve a diverse and expanding market. The technology is applicable across numerous industries, including consumer electronics like smartphones, machine vision, autonomous driving, medical devices, and augmented reality. By providing miniaturized sensing modules and application-level solutions, the company aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of both consumer and industrial products. The sensors support flexible customization of spectral channels and spatial resolution, covering a wavelength range from visible to near-infrared light. This capability allows for the development of portable and handheld devices with novel applications in digital agriculture, smart health, and environmental monitoring.
