Hydrogen autonomous airships for persistent aerial intelligence
About Kelluu
Kelluu is a Finnish deeptech company that designs, manufactures and operates hydrogen-powered autonomous airships for persistent aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The unmanned fleet delivers long-endurance, low-emission monitoring and high-resolution sensing for defence and civilian uses (forestry, meteorology, smart-city sensing, critical-infrastructure protection and digital twins), bridging gaps between satellites and drones; press cites missions beyond 12 hours and multi-airship coverage of tens of thousands of square kilometres from a single base. A dual-use company and NATO DIANA graduate, Kelluu is also developing Kelluu AI Labs geospatial foundation models. In April 2026 Kelluu raised a €15 million Series A led by the NATO Innovation Fund (first Finnish investment), with Keen Venture Partners, Gungnir and Tesi participating. Capital optimises the platform, scales operations and expands fleet deployment.
