VORTEX is developing Ventus, a fuel-cell-powered long-range eVTOL drone for middle mile logistics, offering 500 km range, 50 kg payload capacity, and rapid five-minute refueling. Unlike short-range battery drones or gas turbine competitors, Ventus combines low emissions, large cargo space, and compact design with GNSS-PPP precision navigation for safe BVLOS operations. Backed by IP in aerodynamics, hybrid power control, and fuel cell integration, the experienced VORTEX team is targeting a fast-growing $3B market with a scalable OEM approach.
allunderground
We are allunderground, a deep-tech startup from Munich, developing cable drilling machines for underground power lines. The European electricity grid is the bottleneck in the transition to renewable energy, and we are here to change that. Our startup is a spin-off from the student initiative TUM Boring – Innovation in Tunneling, where we won two Elon Musk tunneling competitions in a row.
