Germany’s Quantum Systems hits ‘triple unicorn’ status with €180M Series C extension: Know more

Germany-based Quantum Systems has raised €180M to support its expansion in unmanned systems across multiple domains.

Germany-based Quantum Systems, an aerial data intelligence company, has secured €180M in a Series C extension round led by Balderton Capital. The new round follows the €160M Series C closed in May 2025, bringing total capital raised this year to €340M. The company now holds a valuation above €3B. 

The combined funding represents the largest private capital raise in Europe’s dual-use sector for 2025.

Rana Yared, General Partner at Balderton Capital, says, “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.”

Balderton Capital is a multistage venture firm that invests from Seed to IPO across the technology sector. The firm backs companies in areas such as AI, fintech, SaaS, digital health, mobility, gaming and marketplaces.

Capital utilisation

The funds will back Quantum Systems’ expansion across air, land, and maritime domains. The company plans to advance work on AI, software, and hardware systems connected through its mission platform, MOSAIC UXS.

Since the first Series C round in May, Quantum Systems has completed the acquisitions of AirRobot, Nordic Unmanned, and Spleenlab. The additional funding will support further transactions targeted at broadening the company’s multi-domain portfolio.

Florian Seibel, co-CEO and co-founder of Quantum Systems, says, “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, adds, “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.”
