Moller Holding$1.2B$8BMunich-based autonomous drone maker Quantum Systems raised $1.2 billion in a Series D financing round at an $8 billion post-money valuation, co-led by Blackstone, Noteus Partners, Airbus Defence and Space, and Advent International, with participation from Bond, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Wellington Management, A.P. Moller Holding, Elephant Lake Ventures, and existing shareholders Balderton Capital and HV Capital. The round, finalized on July 2, 2026, marks the largest European defense technology financing round to date and doubles the company's valuation from approximately €3 billion in its November 2025 round. Strategically, the capital supports Quantum Systems' industrial scale-up as a leading deep-tech prime for interoperable, multi-domain autonomous capabilities across air, land, and sea in Europe, amid growing investor interest in defense technology and potential merger discussions with German strike drone startup Stark, founded by co-CEO Florian Seibel in 2024. Quantum Systems, founded by Florian Seibel, Dr. Michael Kriegel, Tobias Kloss, and Armin Busse, operates from Gilching, Germany, with approximately €300 million in revenue expected in 2025 and over €500 million targeted for 2026, while management has openly discussed a potential IPO and further funding in 2026.

Its platforms are deployed by NATO forces in Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and prominently in Ukraine since 2022, with partnerships including the German Bundeswehr and Airbus Defence and Space, and deployments in Chernobyl for environmental monitoring. The company raised €180 million in a Series C extension led by Balderton Capital, with participation from Peter Thiel, Porsche Automobil Holding SE, and Notion Capital, following a €160 million Series C in May 2025, for a 2025 total of €340 million across nine rounds exceeding $410 million. This round tripled the post-money valuation to above €3 billion, marking Europe's first 'triple unicorn' in dual-use technology and the largest private capital raise in the sector. Proceeds will expand AI, software, and hardware development, scale mass production in Germany and Europe, support strategic acquisitions building on prior integrations of AirRobot, Nordic Unmanned, and Spleenlab, and grow employment to up to 1,000 across multiple countries including Germany, Ukraine, the US, Australia, Romania, the UK, and the Baltic states.

This follows a €160 million Series C in May 2025, bringing total 2025 funding to €340 million. The round positions Quantum Systems as Europe's first dual-use unicorn and the top-funded player in European unmanned systems, surpassing €133 million combined from competitors. Proceeds will accelerate development of AI, hardware, and software across air, land, and maritime domains, scale mass production in Germany and Europe to meet rising demand, and fund additional strategic acquisitions to broaden multi-domain offerings.
