Arctic RAVN secures €2.5 million in convertible loan commitments

Arctic RAVN’s convertible loan round exceeded its €2 million target in less than a week. The financing will support production ramp-up and product development as the company prepares to meet rising demand for European drone components.

Arctic RAVN launched its convertible loan round in October, and received €2.5 million in investment commitments in five days.

The company has invested more than a million euros in scaling up production of its electronic speed controllers (ESCs). Arctic RAVN aims to manufacture tens of thousands units by the end of 2026, with a significant share already reserved by customers. The next production ramp-up will focus on flight controllers (FC). In the longer term, Arctic RAVN plans to increase its annual production capacity up to two million circuit boards a year.

“Investors committed to the round within days, even though we have not yet officially launched a single product. Follow-up orders and discussions with several leading defence manufacturers indicate a need for high-performance European drone electronics. We are now scaling our manufacturing capabilities for industrial-level output and strengthening Europe’s ability to produce critical drone electronics.” — Matti Vansén, CEO

Arctic RAVN’s customers include several well-known European defence industry players. All of the products are designed and manufactured in Finland, using components sourced entirely from Europe and NATO-allied countries.

Arctic RAVN is one of Finnish Defence House’s studio companies. Finnish Defence House is a defence technology venture studio that identifies, funds and builds companies, and supports their development.
