HyLight flew in the Grand Palais at ChangeNOW

HyLight has showcased its HyLighter, an electric-powered airship drone, floating high above Paris’s Grand Palais for ChangeNOW 2025. Engineered for precise, long-range, and silent monitoring, the HyLighter offers a carbon-free solution for inspecting vital infrastructure.

Critical infrastructure like power lines, pipelines, and railways require massive, precise inspections. When these systems fail, the consequences are far-reaching, impacting millions.

The HyLighter offers a game-changing alternative:

• 100% carbon-free inspections

• Reliable monitoring of infrastructure condition

• A sustainable replacement for helicopters and airplanes, which emit 100kg to 1 tonne of CO₂e per hour

HyLight’s mission is clear: ensure our infrastructure is ready for a decarbonized future—silently, safely, and sustainably.

HyLight’s three co-founders have been recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list, a milestone that celebrates not only their individual leadership but also the collective effort of the entire HyLight team.

This recognition underscores HyLight’s mission to develop and scale efficient, sustainable technology for the inspection of critical infrastructure, advancing a future where safety and decarbonization go hand in hand.
