In a groundbreaking development for the future of aerial mobility, SkyDrive, a Japanese leader in electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and heavy-lift cargo drones, has successfully raised a monumental $8 billion in a recent funding round. Established in 2018, SkyDrive has emerged as a frontrunner in the burgeoning drone industry, leveraging innovative technology and engineering excellence to pave the way for a new era of transportation and logistics. This significant influx of capital will enable the company to accelerate the development and deployment of its advanced eVTOL aircraft, which aim to revolutionize urban mobility and transform cargo delivery services. The funds will primarily be allocated towards enhancing research and development efforts, expanding manufacturing capabilities, and conducting rigorous testing to ensure the safety and reliability of their drones. With urban air mobility gaining momentum, SkyDrive is poised to play an integral role in reshaping the aerial transport landscape, addressing the pressing need for efficient, eco-friendly solutions for crowded cities and remote areas alike. As we look towards a future filled with innovative forms of transportation, SkyDrive remains committed to leading the charge in the eVTOL market.

Spiral Hydrogen
Spiral Hydrogen is building next-generation electrolyzers. Based on alkaline electrolyzers, we solve many core problems plaguing current systems. Our electrolyers have no gas bubbles, and achieve efficiencies up to 95%. We use rotation to pump our electrolyte, achiving current densities up to 3 A/cm². In addition, our stack cost is an order magnitude cheaper, due to a simplified stack design and longer lifetime. Our goal is to get the green hydrogen price below fossil hydrogen, unlocking a €250B market for decarbonization and making hydrogen transportation and heating commercially viable. We have validated our technology in lab conditions (TRL 4) and are looking for pilot partners and investors to build our first pilot (TRL 6).

Mosaic SoC
Mosaic aims to redefine what’s possible in always-on spatial intelligence. Our purpose-built perception platform combines cutting-edge silicon with a tightly integrated software stack to deliver real-time vision and AI at a fraction of the power of conventional solutions. By unifying general-purpose compute, on-chip memory, and dedicated accelerators in an ultra-compact form factor, we enable a new generation of wearables, mobile devices, and robotic systems. Paired with Mosaic’s advanced perception software—including SLAM, object detection, and neural inference—we give our customers a true plug-and-play platform that dramatically reduces integration effort, accelerates time to market, and unlocks smaller, more efficient products that continuously understand and interact with the world around them.
