Quantum Systems has secured a €150 million financing package, backed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and major European banks including Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and KfW. The funding is intended to support the company’s growth, industrial scaling, and ongoing investments in unmanned systems technology, while reinforcing Europe’s security and technological sovereignty. The announcement was made at Quantum Systems’ headquarters in Gilching ahead of the Munich Security Conference, highlighting the alignment of financial support with Europe’s strategic priorities in security-relevant innovation.
The financing package includes a €70 million loan from the EIB, marking its second investment in Quantum Systems after a €10 million contribution in 2021. Combined with contributions from Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and KfW, the total long-term debt financing amounts to €150 million. This funding reflects adjustments in ESG frameworks that enable European banking institutions to support security-critical technologies more effectively, signaling a growing commitment to financing key strategic capabilities within Europe.
Company leadership emphasized that the financing will allow Quantum Systems to scale responsibly while remaining anchored in Europe. Jonas Jarosch, CEO, stated that the investment enables long-term development of critical capabilities, enhancing Europe’s technological sovereignty. Similarly, EIB President Nadia Calviño highlighted that drones and aerial intelligence are essential to European security, and the financing reinforces the continent’s industrial and defense capacities. Bank representatives from Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, and KfW echoed the message, noting the importance of supporting innovative, security-relevant technologies with European capital to strengthen resilience and sovereignty.
The funds will support ongoing investments in Quantum Systems’ technology, industrial capacity, and organizational growth. The company’s in-house development of integrated hardware, software, and AI systems positions it as a global leader in unmanned systems, delivering operational data in real time and enabling informed decision-making across multiple domains. This financing ensures that the company can continue developing scalable, secure, and sovereign technologies for European and global markets.
The European Investment Bank Group, which provided part of the financing, plays a central role in funding strategic European projects across climate, digital innovation, security, and industrial development. Through the European Investment Fund and initiatives such as the European Tech Champions Initiative, the EIB mobilizes private investment for high-risk innovative projects, scaling startups and strengthening Europe’s technology ecosystem.
Quantum Systems’ new funding package underscores the critical role of European capital in developing and scaling security-related technologies, ensuring that advanced capabilities are both technologically sovereign and strategically aligned with Europe’s long-term security and industrial priorities.
