AudioDimension, the French deep-tech company pioneering 3D spatial audio navigation, has appointed Sir Hossein Yassaie as Chairman of the Board. The appointment marks an important step as the company scales its patented technology across consumer, accessibility, and industrial applications.

AudioDimension’s platform creates dynamic spatial audio cues that guide users through physical environments in a more natural and less intrusive way than traditional voice-led or screen-based navigation. Developed initially to support visually impaired and unsighted users, the technology now has broader applications in smart glasses, hearables, tourism, sports, and immersive media.

Sir Hossein Yassaie brings extensive leadership experience from the global tech sector, including his tenure as CEO of Imagination Technologies, where he helped build a semiconductor IP business used in billions of devices worldwide. Knighted in 2016 for services to technology and innovation, he has since continued supporting deep-tech founders and scaleups across the UK and Europe.

“Our vision is to create a world where sound is a natural and seamless extension of our spatial awareness,” said Philippe Le Borgne, President of AudioDimension. “Sir Hossein’s unparalleled experience in scaling deep-tech companies and building global ecosystems is a monumental asset. His guidance will be instrumental as we accelerate our growth and bring our technology to new markets and partners.”

“What attracted me to AudioDimension is that its technology is not just innovative—it’s fundamentally a “tech for good” and has the power to enhance how people experience the world,” said Sir Hossein Yassaie. “The potential to transform navigation and entertainment, while significantly improving accessibility for those who navigate the world differently, is real and significant. I am thrilled to help guide the company on its mission.”

AudioDimension has gained further visibility through showcases at Vivatech and CES Las Vegas and is continuing to grow its patent portfolio as it develops new uses for spatial audio across accessibility and immersive technology.
