SUMMARY

  • Quantum Systems, Europe’s first dual-use unicorn, has tripled its valuation and secured €180 million in a Series C Extension led by Balderton Capital.

This follows the €160 million Series C raised in May, bringing Quantum Systems’ total 2025 funding to €340 million the largest private capital raise in Europe’s dual-use sector.

Now valued above €3 billion, the company has become a leading force in unmanned systems, using the new capital to accelerate multi-domain expansion across air, land, and maritime applications.

Its platforms and software are deployed by NATO forces across Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and especially Ukraine, where its fleet has operated since the full-scale invasion in 2022.

After its earlier Series C round, Quantum Systems acquired and integrated AirRobot, Nordic Unmanned, and Spleenlab, with the new funding supporting further strategic acquisitions to strengthen its multi-domain capabilities.

Florian Seibel, co-CEO and co-founder of Quantum Systems, said: “Triple unicorn status is a testament to our team’s ability to build systems and a company that performs in the most demanding real-world conditions.

We will now accelerate our development of hardware, software and AI to become the defining leader in multi-domain unmanned systems.”

Sven Kruck, co-CEO of Quantum Systems, said: “We are building the powerhouse of intelligent unmanned systems. Quantum Systems will accelerate its global growth across countries and domains, to secure Europe, NATO and its allies.”

Rana Yared, General Partner at Balderton Capital, said: “We are partnering with Quantum Systems to help them continue to fulfil the promise of European sovereignty in defence and dual-use technology. As geopolitical instability rises and security priorities shift, the need for home-grown, trusted European innovation has never been greater.

The Quantum Systems team pairs technical excellence with operational discipline and has demonstrated the ambition required to lead this category globally. We are proud to stand by their side, as Quantum Systems enters its next phase of scale.”

Quantum Systems now employs up to 1,000 people across Germany, Ukraine, the US, Australia, Romania, the UK, and the Baltic states, continuing its global expansion in hardware, software, and AI.

With the new funding, the company will accelerate development across all domains, unified through its multi-domain mission software, MOSAIC UXS.
