the USA following a generous 5.8 million euro investment As Netrokracija/Marin Pavelic writes Orqa has secured 5.8 million euros in a seed round of funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners American funds Radius Capital and Decisive Point also participated These funds will be invested in expanding the Osijek company Orqa’s global presence increasing production capacities and encouraging further technological development Orqa’s aim is to position itself as a leading supplier of technologies for unmanned systems here in the West which started out as a humble hardware consulting company is gradually becoming one of the leaders in security solutions Geopolitical issues have forced Orqa to the forefront The war in Ukraine increased the demand for their products with thousands of Orqa drones being used there on a monthly basis The need for unmanned aerial vehicles has also shot up owing to incidents in the Red Sea that disrupted global supply chains this Croatian enterprise’s strategic opportunities in the defence sector Orqa’s co-founder and CEO Srđan Kovačević revealed more about the company’s ambitious plans The fact that they were recognised by the aforementioned investors is considered a milestone and validation of everything Orqa has done so far “Big names like these change our reputation on a global level which means that we no longer have to convince anyone of what we we’re working towards This investment opens the door for Orqa to an international presence with the first steps being directed towards the American market Orqa plans to create ten new jobs in the USA the company will focus on expansion in Europe with an emphasis placed heavily on Germany Orqa also plans to continue hiring here at home in Croatia,” the Orqa CEO revealed they plan to launch production in the US and establish a team in London which will be led by the recently hired Chief Product Officer Arnaud Thiercelin Arnaud previously worked for major competitors DJI and Auterion The Osijek company Orqa began with the idea of ​​dealing with “hobbyist” technologies the technologies they deal with started to be used for defence purposes Orqa then found itself as being among only a few Western companies that possesses the necessary technological know-how to build unmanned systems “There’s currently a rush on to acquire these technologies because NATO has completely changed its mind about unmanned systems as a result of the war in Ukraine It’s precisely this sense of urgency that has enabled faster development and business agreements,” Srđan points out they had to meet various stringent requirements like those of the US NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) in order to gain the trust of Western markets As far as the enterprise segment (which will be worth 41.3 billion USD by 2026) is concerned Orqa will remain focused on applications that include remote inspection security monitoring and emergency response in a wide range of industries “DJI has never offered enterprise solutions in the true sense of the word They have a closed system and limited support so you never know if they’ll just choose to shut down a feature I’d say they’re a bit like Apple in the sense that they might just decide to shut down a certain feature which then ruins an application We want to be closer to the Microsoft approach where we provide far more customisation to the end user The Osijek company Orqa is increasingly emerging as a key strategic player in the global drone industry thanks to its vertical integration which ensures quality scalability and resilience to supply chain disruptions Developing complete drone systems and ensuring reliability for Western drone ecosystems positions them as a strong alternative to China’s DJI sales and manufacturing capabilities and accelerate global expansion Doing all of the above will further solidify its position as the leading Western drone manufacturer that meets the highest safety
