Hamburg — YPOG provi­ded compre­hen­sive legal advice to Quan­tum Systems on the expan­sion of its Series B finan­cing round to over €100 million.
The round was led by new inves­tors Notion Capi­tal and Porsche SE.
Exis­ting inves­tors also parti­ci­pa­ted again.
Quan­tum Systems has deve­lo­ped a clear compe­ti­tive advan­tage through its state-of-the-art drones with inte­gra­ted arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI).
By combi­ning hard­ware, soft­ware and AI, the company is trans­forming busi­ness opera­ti­ons and impro­ving effi­ci­ency in various indus­tries, inclu­ding mining, cons­truc­tion, agri­cul­ture, utili­ties, public safety and defense.
In all of these sectors, the coll­ec­tion, analy­sis and proces­sing of sensor data from the air offers decisive advantages.
With the addi­tio­nal funds of almost 40 million euros now raised — the origi­nal Series B brought Quan­tum Systems 63.3 million euros — the Munich-based company intends to drive forward its global expan­sion and invest in the further deve­lo­p­ment of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) and software.
The capi­tal will enable the company to expand its produc­tion capa­ci­ties and invest more in rese­arch and development.
In addi­tion to Notion Capi­tal and Porsche Auto­mo­bil Holding SE, the exis­ting inves­tors also parti­ci­pa­ted again.
Porsche SE should not be confu­sed with Porsche AG: While SE is respon­si­ble for the asset manage­ment of the Porsche Piech family, AG is respon­si­ble for the auto­mo­bile produc­tion of sports cars as a subsi­diary of the VW Group. About Quan­tum Systems Quan­tum Systems specia­li­zes in the deve­lo­p­ment, design and produc­tion of small unman­ned aerial systems (sUAS).
The company’s elec­tric verti­cal take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are desi­gned for maxi­mum flight endu­rance and versa­ti­lity, provi­ding users with a seam­less user experience.
Inte­gra­ting cutting-edge soft­ware capa­bi­li­ties such as edge compu­ting and real-time AI-powered data proces­sing, Quan­tum Systems builds next-gene­ra­­tion UAS for secu­rity, defense, public safety, commer­cial and geogra­phic opera­ti­ons custo­mers across Europe.
