TEKEVER

Founded in 2001 by computer scientists and AI researchers, TEKEVER began as a bootstrapped startup focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and distributed systems. Over its first decade the company identified the emerging UAS market and began building software-driven autonomous platforms, eventually becoming Europe's leading provider of unmanned aerial vehicles for defence and security.

TEKEVER designs and manufactures a family of fixed-wing UAS — the AR3, AR3 EVO, AR5, and ARX — that serve ISR, electronic warfare, maritime patrol, and swarm operations. Its Intelligence-as-a-Service platform ATLAS delivers real-time processed data to government and defence customers globally, with systems battle-proven in Ukraine.

Beyond UAS, TEKEVER operates a dedicated Space division supplying inter-satellite link radios (GAMALINK) and synthetic aperture radar payloads (GAMASAR) for NewSpace and institutional missions. GAMALINK flew on ESA's Hera asteroid mission, and in 2026 TEKEVER was selected by CNES and DGA to deliver the active SAR antenna for France's sovereign SAR satellite programme.

In 2025 the company achieved unicorn status following funding rounds totalling over £400 million in the UK and €100 million in France, with offices in Lisbon, Bath, Toulouse, Swindon, and North Carolina.
