DeltaQuad, Parcom and Keen join forces to support innovation and expansion in the European security and defence industry
DeltaQuad brings on Dutch investment firms Parcom and Keen Venture Partners as strategic shareholders. The partnership strengthens DeltaQuad’s long-term position by combining Parcom’s investment capacity, strategic expertise and network with Keen’s deep defence-tech focus and European ecosystem, alongside DeltaQuad’s technological leadership.
Headquartered in Duivendrecht, the Netherlands, DeltaQuad develops and manufactures advanced long-range drones that combine the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft with the vertical take-off and landing capabilities of helicopters. The systems are primarily designed for defence and security applications and support mission-critical operations such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, force protection and border security.
The partnership supports the next phase of DeltaQuad’s growth by strengthening execution on innovation, operational excellence and international expansion. This includes further development of autonomy and payload integration, deepening strategic partnerships across the defence ecosystem, and building organisational capabilities to support quality, delivery and service at scale.
The collaboration reflects DeltaQuad’s ambition to help shape a more professional, resilient and capable European unmanned defence industry through long-term partnerships across technology, capital and operational expertise.

“Parcom and Keen are strong partners for DeltaQuad as we enter our next phase. We operate in a space where the challenge is bigger than a single company, making collaboration across the defence ecosystem essential.
