Everdrone secures $3.8 million in funding as company launches its drone service for emergency response

Swedish start­up Ever­drone has raised SEK 36 mil­lion (approx. $3.8 mil­lion) and enters the com­mer­cial phase for drone ser­vices in emer­gency health­care.

The com­pa­ny cur­rent­ly oper­ates the world’s first oper­a­tional drone ser­vice inte­grat­ed into the emer­gency response chain for car­diac arrest in the Väs­tra Göta­land Region, Swe­den.

Its pro­pri­etary tech­nol­o­gy enables the extreme­ly rapid deliv­ery of life-sav­ing med­ical equipment—such as auto­mat­ed exter­nal defib­ril­la­tors (AEDs)—directly to the scene, while also pro­vid­ing real-time video sup­port to emer­gency dis­patch­ers.

The recent­ly com­plet­ed fund­ing round was led by the invest­ment firm Sci­ety, which select­ed Ever­drone based on its advanced tech­nol­o­gy and clear appli­ca­tion with­in emer­gency health­care.

The funds raised will help to val­i­date method­ol­o­gy and sys­tem inte­gra­tion for drone sup­port in emer­gency health­care, as well as to fur­ther devel­op its tech­nol­o­gy plat­form for addi­tion­al ser­vice offer­ings.

Mats Säll­ström, CEO of Ever­drone, said: “This fund­ing gives us stronger con­di­tions to con­tin­ue build­ing the com­pa­ny and expand­ing our ser­vices into more mar­kets across Europe.

“Sci­ety con­tributes not only cap­i­tal but also indus­try exper­tise, the right net­work, and increased vis­i­bil­i­ty, mak­ing them a valu­able part­ner in the company’s con­tin­ued devel­op­ment.”

Sci­ety is a long-term cap­i­tal part­ner and investor in life sci­ence and health tech, with a focus on the Nordic region. We iden­ti­fy and invest in growth com­pa­nies with the poten­tial to cre­ate sig­nif­i­cant val­ue for both investors and soci­ety, and with a clear path toward a future exit.

It leads invest­ment process­es and co-invest along­side lead­ing ven­ture cap­i­tal firms, fam­i­ly offices, and through its investor net­work, Sci­ety Ven­ture Part­ners. Its goal is for growth com­pa­nies in life sci­ence and dig­i­tal health to scale suc­cess­ful­ly, enabling sci­en­tif­ic break­throughs in med­i­cine and tech­nol­o­gy to reach peo­ple world­wide.

Andreas Lind­blom, Man­ag­ing Part­ner at Sci­ety, said: “Ever­drone address­es a clear and well-doc­u­ment­ed need in emer­gency health­care and has already estab­lished part­ner­ships with sev­er­al regions in Swe­den and France. As a long-term cap­i­tal part­ner, we look for­ward to sup­port­ing Ever­drone in its con­tin­ued com­mer­cial­iza­tion.

“Sci­ety con­tributes not only cap­i­tal but also indus­try exper­tise, the right net­work, and increased vis­i­bil­i­ty, mak­ing them a valu­able part­ner in the company’s con­tin­ued devel­op­ment.

Ever­drone devel­ops autonomous drone ser­vices for time-crit­i­cal med­ical inter­ven­tions, enabling rapid deliv­ery of defib­ril­la­tors and oth­er essen­tial emer­gency med­ical equip­ment while wait­ing for the ambu­lance to arrive.

Since its found­ing, Ever­drone has devel­oped its tech­nol­o­gy in close col­lab­o­ra­tion with health­care providers and has con­duct­ed oper­a­tional flights with­in emer­gency health­care since 2020. The ser­vice is cur­rent­ly oper­a­tional in the Väs­tra Göta­land Region and has also been pro­cured by Region Stock­holm and the Nor­mandy Region in France.

Säll­ström added: “Our autonomous drones are inte­grat­ed into the emer­gency response chain and dis­patched in par­al­lel with ambu­lances. We are see­ing grow­ing inter­est in these types of solu­tions with­in emer­gency health­care and oth­er res­cue ser­vices.

“Inter­est in drone-based solu­tions in emer­gency health­care is increas­ing as regions look for new ways to reduce response times and improve cov­er­age in both urban and rur­al areas.”
