Finnish airship firm Kelluu raises €15M Series A led by NATO fund
Finnish deep tech firm Kelluu has raised €15M in Series A funding led by the NATO Innovation Fund for its autonomous hydrogen-powered airships. The investment reflects growing demand for alternative intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.
Finnish firm Kelluu, operating autonomous hydrogen-powered airships, has secured €15M in Series A funding. The round was led by the NATO Innovation Fund, marking its first investment in a Finnish company. Kelluu's airships can remain airborne for over 12 hours and operate in extreme temperatures. The platforms are designed to fill the ISR gap between satellites and drones, offering persistent coverage even in harsh weather or when GPS is jammed. Kelluu has demonstrated its technology with allied forces, integrating its sensor feed with NATO command and control systems. The company has participated in several exercises, including NATO's Exercise Steadfast Dart 26 in Germany.
