Galactic Beacon Ventures

We're excited to announce that ADLC, a pioneering drone logistics company, has successfully raised €2.08 million in seed funding to accelerate its growth and further expand its services in the maritime and offshore industry. The investment round was led by Galactic Beacon Ventures, alongside our co-lead investor LRM, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and NXT II, with the support of PwC - Next Level as financial/fundraising advisors and Van Olmen & Wynant as legal advisors. Kyriakos Vlachos, Chief Investment Officer at Galactic Beacon Ventures, said: “We believe the time is right for drone logistics to transform the maritime and offshore industry. Recent advancements in drone technology, combined with new regulatory frameworks, have created a favourable environment for widespread adoption of drone delivery. Their work in the Port of Antwerp is a perfect example of how drones can deliver real value to industrial operations. We see tremendous potential for ADLC to scale globally, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth. This investment reflects our broader mission to drive innovation in maritime, energy, and logistics.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/dKtDZh44 #GalacticBeaconVentures #Drones #Logistics #Maritime #VentureCapital
