TEKEVER Expands to Odense with Danish EIFO Investment

Autonomous air systems developer TEKEVER is launching its first Nordic base in Odense. The expansion brings new high-tech research and career opportunities to Denmark. Export and Investment Fund of Denmark, EIFO, is joining the company's Series D round as an investor.

The announcement follows a meeting in Copenhagen with Danish Minister of Defence Jeppe Bruus. TEKEVER is establishing a Danish company entity. The firm has started recruitment preparations and local partner agreements. Operations will grow in phases based on market demand.

Odense was selected for its strong robotics and drone network. Key facilities include Odense Robotics and the SDU Drone Center at the University of Southern Denmark. TEKEVER will also use UAS Denmark's International Test Center for research and testing.

TEKEVER creates autonomous systems for defence, security, and civil uses. The investment forms part of its 580 million US dollar Series D financing. The company already operates in Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Estonia.
