Scaleup Investor Network

This event marks the beginning of something new. One of the first of its kind, it focuses on what is increasingly referred to as The Low Altitude Economy – a rapidly growing segment of the aerospace industry centred around systems, platforms, and vehicles for services in the lower airspace. This includes drones, eVTOLs, and other technologies enabling transport, surveillance, inspection, emergency response, and more.

Although both the industry and the market are still in an early phase, it is already a multi-billion-dollar global sector – with strong growth ahead. In the Nordic region and Sweden, we see entrepreneurs who combine cutting-edge technology with world-class visions. But innovation alone is not enough. To compete globally, we need better conditions: supportive regulations, testing environments, investment, and collaboration.

That is why we are here today. With this event, we aim to start shine a spotlight on Sweden’s pioneering entrepreneurs in this emerging industry and to build momentum for the future.

VCraft Aeronautics

VCraft Aeronautics, established in 2021 by two founders with extensive experience in the development of the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighter jet, specializes in both unmanned and manned eVTOL (electric Vertical TakeOff and Landing) aircraft. The company is currently developing an unmanned aircraft with a payload capacity of over 100 kg, with the first prototype in the manufacturing stage.

Remote Aero

Remote Aero provides an end-to-end service aimed at emergency response teams addressing the lack of information and uncertainty in the crucial time window between an incident occurring and the right response or measures reaching the scene. Using drones, rapid situational awareness can be achieved leading to several benefits such as a more properly sized response, prepared emergency personnel, and better coordination and collaboration.

Nordluft Automation AB

Nordluft develops and commercializes drone technology for efficient and capacity strong spreading of material in forestry and agriculture. Our first applications are forest fertilization and bioash recirculation, both with strong positive effects on forest productivity and carbon sequestration. Nordluft have active early-stage development in a range of other drone applications within the field of hands-on work in forestry. With Södra Skogsägarna, a major Swedish forest company, joining forces with the company in 2024 through an investment, we are moving quickly towards commercial operations.

Xer Technologies AG

Xer manufactures the Xer X8 multicopter—offering an unmatched 2.5-hour flight time with a 3kg payload—setting a new standard for endurance in multirotor UAVs.
In just two years, Xer has gone global, with sales on five continents and growing demand across both defense and industrial sectors.
Q1 2025 revenue has already surpassed all of 2024, signaling rapid acceleration and strong market pull.
Customers include Fortune 500 oil & gas leaders and major defense contractors—validating both commercial and strategic value.
Operating in a booming UAV market, Xer’s endurance-first design unlocks missions previously impossible for multicopters—creating a clear and defensible competitive edge.

11v8

At 11v8, we’re revolutionizing logistics with our cargo UAV – designed to reach the world’s most remote and isolated regions faster, more flexibly, and efficiently than ever before.

We develop and operate long-range, heavy-payload cargo drones to enable faster, more sustainable, and autonomous delivery of goods. Our solution bridges the gap where traditional logistics struggle – reaching remote areas, reducing emissions, and cutting dependency on ground infrastructure.

Join us on our mission to elevate logistics to new heights – and reshape the future of global delivery.

Monava

All engine-powered UAVs currently emit a significant level of noise during operation. Monava utilize these acoustic signatures to “see” any aerial threats around critical infrastructure and on the battlefield. With a single surveillance sensor we provide a cost-effective acoustic technology that detect and position UAV’s passively during rain, darkness and at blocked line-of-sight.
