Geolinks Services, an InnoEnergy-supported deeptech company since April 2024, has raised €6 million to accelerate the industrialization of FlowTerra, its dynamic subsurface modeling solution. The seed round brought together Calderion, the French Tech Seed Fund managed on behalf of the French State by Bpifrance as part of France 2030, BRGM Invest, and InnoEnergy.
The company said the financing will support the commercial launch of FlowTerra as early as 2026, with initial focus on mining, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and natural hydrogen. Proceeds will also be used to expand and structure key teams and strengthen industrial capabilities as the company moves from technology validation to broader operational deployment.
FlowTerra is rooted in CNRS research on passive seismic methods and designed to enable near-real-time subsurface modeling. Geolinks positions the technology to improve the sustainability of mining operations, enhance safety and monitoring at CO₂ storage sites, and increase the likelihood of identifying decarbonized energy resources, such as natural hydrogen. Over time, the company aims to evolve FlowTerra into a real-time digital twin of the subsurface that visualizes fluid movement within underground systems, enabling applications in next-generation geothermal energy and geological hydrogen while strengthening safety and sustainability across industrial operations.
Geolinks said the round will also help it build expertise in artificial intelligence, modeling, and geosciences, as well as the operational structure needed to scale. Beyond the initial target sectors, the company noted broader use cases tied to sustainable subsurface management, including geothermal energy, water resource management, underground storage integrity, and industrial risk prevention.
