HydroQuest SAS is a French developer of vertical-axis turbines that generate electricity from tidal stream currents. Founded in 2010 in Meylan, Grenoble, the company is based in the Inovallée science park.

HydroQuest has installed several small in-river turbines in France and French Guiana and tested a 1 MW tidal stream turbine off the coast of Brittany between 2019 and 2021. Together with partners, the company is developing the 17 MW FloWatt project, which will consist of six tidal stream turbines. The pilot farm is expected to be commissioned in 2028.
