Quantum Systems Secures €160 million in Series C Funding
The company aims to boost production and global expansion, aiming for European market leadership.
Quantum Systems, based near Munich, has secured €160 million to expand globally, scale production, and advance their autonomous drones. The funding was led by Balderton Capital and included investors like Hensoldt, Airbus Defense and Space, and Bullhound Capital. Florian Seibel, Co-CEO and Co-founder, emphasized the urgent need for sovereign aerial intelligence, citing their systems’ autonomy and proven performance under harsh conditions. Total funding for Quantum Systems now stands at €310 million.
Founded in 2015, Quantum Systems employs approximately 550 people across Germany, Australia, Ukraine, and Romania and is headquartered at Special Airport Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. The company’s modular unmanned aerial systems integrate eVTOL technology, AI, edge computing, and autonomy, serving both military and civilian sectors, such as agriculture and infrastructure. Europe's security increasingly relies on networked defense solutions and rapid development of war-fighting capabilities: Quantum Systems' drones are used by NATO-aligned forces in Germany, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, and Spain. Recently, they expanded into the UK market with acquisitions of AirRobot and Nordic Unmanned UK and the company plans further expansion into Asia and Europe. Commercial uses include mapping drones for mining, agriculture, and infrastructure, with clients such as RocketDNA and India’s Department for Science and Technology.
Co-CEO Sven Kruck remarked on the milestone Series C financing, highlighting plans to increase global production capacity and market presence. The new funding follows several years of over 100% year-over-year revenue growth.
