We have some big news to share.

AirHub has closed a €4.4 million Series A funding round, backed by Keen Venture Partners, Runway FBU, Lumaux and LUMO Labs. This is a significant milestone for our team, and a major step forward in what we have been building since day one: software that helps organisations execute drone missions in the most demanding operational environments in the world.

What AirHub does

AirHub builds software that helps organisations plan, execute and manage drone missions in complex operational environments. Our core product, the AirHub Drone Operations Center, gives teams a single platform to prepare missions, operate drones during incidents, monitor live video streams for command oversight, and manage workflows, compliance and reporting. This enables drones to be embedded into day-to-day operations rather than being used as standalone tools.

Why now

Drones are rapidly becoming part of the operational backbone of security, defence and critical infrastructure. Already proven in modern warfare, policing, border protection and infrastructure security, they are driving growing demand for software that enables missions to be planned, executed and coordinated securely, at scale and with full operational control.

In Europe, that demand is closely tied to the need for sovereignty. Organisations increasingly require trusted technology that not only supports operational deployment, but also ensures control over data, workflows and critical systems. As a European company, AirHub is building that capability, helping strengthen Europe's independence, resilience and data sovereignty in mission-critical drone operations.

Trusted in the field

AirHub already has strong traction in these environments. Our software is used by organisations including Dubai Police, Portuguese Bombeiros, the Belgian Federal Police, Prosegur, Securitas, Dutch Customs, Shell, Boskalis and ProRail. These teams use AirHub for applications such as Drone as First Responder, incident response, infrastructure inspection, security monitoring and operational coordination.

What we are building next

The funding will be used to scale our international team, further strengthen the AirHub Drone Operations Center, and expand our portfolio with two new products.

MilHub is focused on defence-related operational environments. SecHub is designed for broader security operations and includes a strong counter-drone proposition for organisations that need to detect, manage and respond to drone-related threats.

The right partners for this next phase

The investor group is a strong fit for this chapter. Keen Venture Partners brings experience in European defence, security and dual-use technology. Runway FBU, backed by the Aker Group, brings a strong network in critical infrastructure, industrial environments and robotics implementation. Existing investors Lumaux and LUMO Labs continue to support our growth.

Thomas Brinkman, co-CEO and co-Founder of AirHub: "This funding helps us accelerate AirHub's growth as a European software company serving organisations that operate in high-stakes environments. We see a clear need for trusted software that helps teams execute drone missions securely, effectively and at scale, while strengthening Europe's ability to rely on its own technology in critical operations."

Stephan van Vuren, co-CEO and co-Founder of AirHub: "The organisations we work with are dealing with real incidents, real threats, real pressure. They need software that works when it matters most. That is what drives everything we build."

What comes next

We are expanding our team, accelerating product development, and actively engaging with partners and operators across Europe and beyond. If you want to see what AirHub can do for your organisation, we would love to show you.
