KM3NeT is a neutrino telescope under construction in the deep Mediterranean Sea. It comprises two detectors, KM3NeT/ARCA close to Sicily, with a projected volume of one cubic kilometre, targeting astrophysics by measuring neutrinos in the TeV-PeV energy range, and KM3NeT/ORCA off the French coast near Toulon, which is much smaller and more densely instrumented and is optimised for investigating oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos between a few and a few 100 GeV. The detector principle and technology as well as first results of KM3NeT will be presented and put into context with the expected KM3NeT sensitivities and results from other neutrino telescopes. An outlook to the future of the field will conclude the presentation.
