The EIC Scaling Club touched base with Svilen Rangelov, co-founder and chief executive officer of Bulgarian deep tech company Dronamics, which is building the world's first cargo drone airline.

In 2022, Dronamics was awarded a €2.5 million grant by the European Commission under the EIC Accelerator program, and secured a license to operate in Europe.

The deep tech scale-up went on to raise $40 million in pre-Series A funding in early 2023, and got to celebrate its maiden flight later that year.

We caught up with Svilen to learn more about the startup's fascinating journey.
