Challenge
Defence-technology start-ups need long R&D runways before revenue. the defence-technology start-up had the simulation expertise and a clear product vision — an AI-driven tactical drone simulator for training military and security operators — but needed non-dilutive capital to accelerate development without giving up equity at the earliest, most expensive stage.
Solution
ProBaltic Consulting mapped the available Lithuanian digital-innovation instruments, matched the roadmap to two calls and prepared both applications end to end: an extended-reality tactical simulator platform and a VR/AR drone simulator. Both applications were funded on first submission.
Results
- €164,047 of non-dilutive funding secured across two projects;
- An extended-reality tactical simulator platform developed and brought to market;
- AI-driven VR/AR drone training technology positioned for the growing European defence market.
