Munich’s Quantum Systems has tripled its valuation and raised €180 million in a Sequence C Extension led by Balderton Capital so as to speed up its AI, software program, and {hardware} improvement throughout all domains – related by the multi-domain mission software program MOSAIC UXS.
This follows its €160 million Sequence C in Could this yr (as covered by EU-Startups), bringing the full quantity secured in 2025 to €340 million, which marks the most important non-public capital elevate in Europe’s dual-use sector. This places the corporate’s valuation above €3 billion.
“Triple unicorn standing is a testomony to our crew’s skill to construct techniques and an organization that performs in essentially the most demanding real-world circumstances. We’ll now speed up our improvement of {hardware}, software program and AI to grow to be the defining chief in multi-domain unmanned techniques,” says Florian Seibel, Co-CEO and Co-founder, Quantum Techniques.
European dual-use and unmanned-systems funding exercise in 2025 exhibits a cluster of smaller however related rounds alongside Quantum Techniques’ €340 million complete elevate this yr.
Switzerland’s Normal Instinct secured €114 million to advance embodied-AI brokers spanning gaming, robotics and drone purposes, whereas Poland-based Orbotix closed €6.5 million to broaden its autonomous defence-drone platform throughout Europe. Lithuania’s Monopulse obtained €1.12 million to increase manufacturing of NATO-grade UAVs, whereas Munich-based Mission Q raised €7.5 million to construct an open-source Web-of-Defence platform, and France’s Rift secured €4.6 million to deploy an on-demand aerial-intelligence community.
Mixed, these corporations account for roughly €133 million in 2025, which means Quantum Techniques’ €340 million locations it properly above the remainder of the European unmanned-systems panorama in scale.
It’s working inside an ecosystem that’s seeing sustained, distributed funding throughout aerial autonomy, defence AI, sensor-integration platforms and UAV manufacturing – together with notable exercise from one other Munich-based startup, Mission Q, throughout the identical nationwide context.
“We’re constructing the powerhouse of clever unmanned techniques. Quantum Techniques will speed up its world development throughout nations and domains, to safe Europe, NATO and its allies,” provides Sven Kruck, Co-CEO, Quantum Techniques.
Based in 2015, Quantum Techniques has emerged as Europe’s powerhouse for unmanned techniques, and the brand new capital will gas its multi-domain enlargement throughout air, land, and maritime use instances.
Quantum Techniques employs as much as 1,000 individuals throughout Germany, Ukraine, the US, Australia, Romania the UK, and the Baltic states and continues its world development in {hardware}, software program, and AI throughout all domains.
Following an earlier €63.6 million Sequence B (as covered by EU-Startups) and this yr’s earlier Sequence C financing, Quantum Techniques has already acquired and built-in AirRobot, Nordic Unmanned, and Spleenlab.
The extra capital can even assist strategic acquisitions particularly geared toward strengthening and increasing Quantum Techniques’ multi-domain choices.
“We’re partnering with Quantum Techniques to assist them proceed to meet the promise of European sovereignty in defence and dual-use expertise. As geopolitical instability rises and safety priorities shift, the necessity for home-grown, trusted European innovation has by no means been better.
“The Quantum Techniques crew pairs technical excellence with operational self-discipline and has demonstrated the ambition required to guide this class globally. We’re proud to face by their aspect, as Quantum Techniques enters its subsequent part of scale,” says Rana Yared, Normal Companion, Balderton Capital.
Quantum Techniques’ platforms and software program are deployed by NATO forces throughout Europe and the US, in addition to in Australia, New Zealand, and most prominently in Ukraine, the place its fleet has been working because the begin of the full-scale invasion in 2022.
