Quantum Systems Secures New European Financing Package to Scale the Future of Unmanned Technologies
Quantum Systems, the global powerhouse of unmanned systems, today announced a new financing package supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and leading European commercial banks, including Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank and KfW. The package is designed to support the company’s continued growth and industrial scaling in Europe and was presented at a joint press conference at Quantum Systems’ headquarters in Gilching, ahead of the Munich Security Conference.
The financing reflects recent, targeted adjustments to ESG frameworks, enabling European banking to support security-relevant technologies more effectively. It sends a clear signal that technological resilience, security, and European sovereignty require not only innovation but also access to appropriate capital. The agreement underscores the growing recognition that critical security infrastructure must be financed within Europe to ensure long-term independence and stability.
Today’s €70 million loan marks the EIB’s second investment in Quantum Systems, following its €10 million investment in June 2021, underscoring the bank’s sustained commitment to the company. Together with Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank and KfW, the long-term debt financing totals €150 million.
“This financing is a strong vote of confidence in our company, technology, and our vision,” said Jonas Jarosch. “It enables us to scale responsibly while remaining firmly anchored in Europe. Security and technological sovereignty start with the ability to invest long-term in critical capabilities.”
“Drones and aerial intelligence are already indispensable for Europe’s security – from defending Ukraine to protecting critical infrastructure and borders. With this EUR 70 million financing, the EIB is backing a European technology champion in Germany and showing how public and private finance can scale up Europe’s defence capabilities and better protect our citizens,” said Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank.
“As a banking partner, we are delighted with the successful development of Quantum Systems, which we have been supporting since its early growth phase as its principal bank and also as its first lender,” said Michael Kotzbauer, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors of Commerzbank AG.
“This financing package sends a strong signal about Europe’s ability to develop and scale security relevant technologies with its own capital. At Deutsche Bank, we are committed to supporting companies like Quantum Systems as they expand critical capabilities responsibly – strengthening Europe’s industrial base and technological sovereignty for the long term,” said Michael Diederich, Global Co-Head of Corporate Banking at Deutsche Bank.
“Through its Venture Tech Growth Financing program, KfW is backing Quantum Systems’ continued growth in Europe. By providing targeted growth capital – including equity via KfW Capital and debt – we are strengthening Europe’s technological resilience and contributing to security-relevant capabilities that are developed, financed, and anchored in Europe. This commitment is an essential building block for Europe’s sovereignty and its ability to act independently in a changing security environment,” said Melanie Kehr, Member of the Executive Board of KfW.
The financing package will support Quantum Systems’ ongoing investments in technology, industrial capacity, and organizational growth, while reinforcing its commitment to European security, resilience, and long-term value creation.
