Quantum Systems Secures New European Financing Package to Scale the Future of Unmanned Technologies

Quantum Systems, transforming decision-making processes through aerial data intelligence, led by Florian Seibel, Sven Kruck, and Dave Sharpin, has announced a new financing package supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and leading European commercial banks, including Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and KfW. The financing will fund Quantum Systems’ investments in technology, manufacturing capacity, and organizational expansion, reinforcing its role in European security, resilience, and long-term value creation.

The package supports continued growth and industrial scaling in Europe and was unveiled at a joint press conference at Quantum Systems headquarters in Gilching ahead of the Munich Security Conference.

Updated ESG rules now enable European banks to fund security technologies, emphasizing that resilience and sovereignty require both innovation and capital, and that critical infrastructure should be financed within Europe.

The €70M loan is the EIB’s second backing of Quantum Systems after a €10M investment in 2021, bringing total long-term debt financing with Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and KfW to €150M.

“This financing validates our company, technology, and vision,” said Jonas Jarosch. “It lets us scale responsibly while staying rooted in Europe, because security and technological sovereignty depend on long-term investment in critical capabilities.”

“Drones and aerial intelligence are now essential to Europe’s security, from supporting Ukraine to safeguarding infrastructure and borders. This €70M financing shows how public-private funding can scale defence capabilities and protect citizens,” said Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank.

“As a banking partner, we’re pleased to have supported Quantum Systems since its early growth phase as principal bank and first lender,” said Michael Kotzbauer, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors at Commerzbank AG.

“This financing signals Europe’s capacity to scale security-relevant technology with its own capital,” said Michael Diederich, Global Co-Head of Corporate Banking at Deutsche Bank, adding the bank will continue backing companies like Quantum Systems to strengthen long-term industrial and technological sovereignty.

“Through its Venture Tech Growth Financing program, KfW is supporting Quantum Systems’ growth in Europe,” said Melanie Kehr. The mix of equity via KfW Capital and debt aims to boost technological resilience and strengthen Europe’s sovereignty in a shifting security environment.
