  "account": "British-Ukrainian defence technology company Occam has recently secured €3.8 million in venture funding to expand its drone autonomy software across NATO. This investment brings the company's total funding to €7 million, signaling strong confidence in its technology. The funding was led by Nordic venture capital firm North Ventures, with participation from Finnish firm Sparkmind and British fund Grenadyr. Existing investors Antler, Tech Horizons, T|Y|R.vc, and Freedom Fund also returned to support Occam.\n\nOccam's headquarters are located in London and Kyiv, and the funding will be used to bolster research and development efforts, as well as expand its engineering team in Ukraine. The company's software, known as Bypassing Electronic Warfare on the Front Line, equips military drones with artificial intelligence that allows them to operate autonomously without any live connection to an operator. This technology remains resilient against electronic warfare jamming.\n\nOccam's drone autonomy software is designed to be compatible with existing drones from various manufacturers, requiring no hardware modifications. It runs on a low-cost computing unit and integrates through the company's proprietary Occam Ludus platform. The technology is currently being actively deployed and tested with several Ukrainian manufacturers and military brigades, with direct feedback from the front line guiding rapid product iteration.\n\nWith the new funding secured, Occam intends to accelerate deployment schedules, broaden hardware integrations, and enter defence markets across Europe and NATO countries.",
