Defence Tech Companies in Portugal
Tekever, founded in Lisbon and now valued at $1.33 billion, reached unicorn status in 2025 after winning a contract to supply the UK Royal Air Force with maritime surveillance drones that have logged over 10,000 operational flight hours in Ukraine. Portugal's defence sector has grown 340 per cent since 2019, and the government is targeting 2 per cent of GDP in defence spending by 2026. Lisbon's concentration of aerospace and drone startups has made Portugal one of Europe's more active hubs for unmanned systems development.
