Six Robotics has raised €12 million in equity financing to expand its autonomy software platform for unmanned defense systems.
The round was led by DTCP through its DTCP Defence, with participation from EIFO, the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark, and Scale Capital, with other private investors, according to the Norwegian company.
Six Robotics said the funding will be used to speed up product development, expand deployments across European and allied defense markets, and grow its team.
“Collaborative autonomy will define the next decade of defense,” CEO Christian Fredrik Eggesbø said in the announcement this week. “Europe cannot afford to depend on others for the software that defines what its forces can do. That is what Six Robotics is for, and this round is how we accelerate it”
The company is developing autonomy software that allows multiple unmanned systems to operate together and adapt in real time in complex or contested environments. Its work focuses on swarm autonomy, a technology area aimed at enabling groups of unmanned systems to coordinate more effectively in settings where traditional systems may be limited.
Six Robotics develops its platform in close collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, known as FFI. The company said those relationships help align its software with operational requirements.
“EIFO invests in Six Robotics to accelerate defense innovation that can benefit Denmark and our allies,” Sara Sande, managing director, partner, and head of direct thematic venture at EIFO. “The company’s hardware-agnostic drone swarming and autonomy platform is at the forefront of the technologies that will be decisive in the future of warfare. We wish to strengthen the Nordic collaboration and support that the company plans to set up activities in Denmark later in 2026,”
