What it is
Sovereign manufacturing capacity for autonomous drone infrastructure.
The IP we license — charging stations, docking systems, package logistics — only matters if you can also build it. PARP, the Polish government's economic development agency, awarded Dronehub a multimillion-dollar grant to expand our production capacity in Jasionka, inside the Aviation Valley aerospace cluster. The result is a production line that can manufacture drone-in-a-box and autonomous ground infrastructure at scale — the same line that fulfils licensed deployments and direct orders.
For a US procurement officer asking the obvious question — can this company actually deliver at volume, on a non-adversarial supply chain, inside an EU-allied jurisdiction? — the answer is physical, audited, and operating today. PARP's due diligence on Dronehub before awarding the grant is the same kind of vetting US federal innovation programmes do. It already happened.
Why it matters
- Sovereign EU production. The factory sits inside NATO, inside the EU, on a non-adversarial supply chain. Zero components from China or sanctioned states.
- IP licensing at volume. Our IP partners can choose to manufacture themselves or use our line. We can build their design at the scale and tolerances defense procurement expects.
- Government-validated.PARP doesn't hand out factory grants on slideware — the diligence is full financial, technical, and operational review.
- Aviation Valley.The cluster around Rzeszów is Poland's aerospace center of gravity — talent, supply chain, and infrastructure already concentrated.
Strategic context
The PARP-funded line directly underwrites two of our three doors: IP licensing (we can manufacture handoff for licensees who don't want to build it themselves) and manufacturing partnerships (companies with their own IP can produce sensitive drone hardware on a non-adversarial line).
