Scantinel is a world-leading FMCW LiDAR start-up company, headquartered in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Incubated in the global optics leader Carl Zeiss AG in 2016, Scantinel spun off as an independent company in 2019 backed by ZEISS Ventures, Scania Growth Capital and PhotonDelta. In January 2026, Scantinel became a subsidiary of MicroVision, Inc.
We are building best-in-class FMCW LiDAR technology for future mobility applications. FMCW LiDAR systems will help create unparalleled safety level in automotive, mobility, trucking, and for industrial application.
