Drone manufacturer ABZ Innovation has closed a €7
million funding round led by Vsquared Ventures, with participation from Day One Capital and Assembly Ventures.
The Europe-based company develops heavy-duty drones for
agricultural and industrial applications, including spraying, spreading,
cleaning, and other specialised tasks. ABZ focuses on robust hardware, high
payload capacity, and long-term partner support.
Based in Hungary’s growing robotics cluster, ABZ
combines cost-competitive drone hardware with a European full-stack autonomy
platform, positioning its systems as practical tools for automation. Its drones
are deployed in more than 25 countries, with increasing adoption in the US.
ABZ designs its systems for demanding operational
environments. In agriculture, its spraying and spreading drones enable more
precise application of crop protection products and fertilisers, helping reduce
chemical and water use while addressing labour shortages in high-value crops.
In industrial settings, ABZ’s cleaning drones operate in hazardous
environments, such as work at height or on contaminated surfaces, improving
safety and reducing operational downtime.
According to CEO Karoly Ludvigh, the company aims to
reduce human exposure to dangerous and repetitive tasks while improving
efficiency for agricultural and industrial operators.
Backed by investors experienced in scaling hardware and deep-technology
companies, ABZ Innovation plans to use the capital to expand manufacturing,
accelerate product development, and grow its presence in key global markets.
The company’s objective is to make advanced drone technology more accessible,
enabling partners to operate more efficiently, safely, and with fewer
resources.
