Beyond Vision raised more than €28m in a round reported on 24 October 2026, co-led by Índico Capital Partners and Lince Capital. It is doubling its Alverca factory to 4,000 square metres and will spend on production and swarm software. In July 2026 Japan's defence acquisition agency picked it as a demonstration entrant for counter-drone systems.
Founded in 2013 and based in Alverca do Ribatejo, near Lisbon, Beyond Vision makes the BVT516 fixed-wing VTOL drone, quadcopters, an octocopter and the BVQ404 interceptor, plus the beXStream cloud control platform. It employs about 150 people. It also has a US contract for 300 emergency-response drones by 2028 and plans a €50m American factory.
It is the second Portuguese drone maker to draw large sums in autumn 2026: in September the UK awarded Tekever a contract worth up to £400m for its AR5.
