About this report
The growing use of drones in the war in Ukraine and the instability of transatlantic security arrangements have accelerated interest in developing an autonomous industrial base for unmanned aerial technologies in Europe.
In this context, European drone start-ups are attracting large-scale capital from private investors, due both to their military applications and their dual-use potential. According to the Financial Times , Quantum Systems and Tekever—two European companies specialising in aerial surveillance and AI-driven defence—have each reached valuations above €1 billion in recent funding rounds.
Key questions this report answers
- Why have European drone start-ups like Quantum Systems and Tekever each reached valuations above €1 billion in recent funding rounds?
- How does the war in Ukraine drive demand for an autonomous European industrial base in unmanned aerial technologies?
- What dual-use potential lets aerial surveillance and AI-driven defence firms attract large-scale private investment?
- What strategic risks does reliance on private capital pose for building sovereign continental drone capability?
