Everdrone raises SEK 36 million – enters commercial phase for drone services in emergency healthcare

Everdrone currently operates the world’s first operational drone service integrated into the emergency response chain for cardiac arrest in the Västra Götaland Region, Sweden. The company has now raised SEK 36 million in a funding round 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.

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

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.

“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”, says Mats Sällström.

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.

“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”, says Mats Sällström.

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.

“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, says Andreas Lindblom”, Managing Partner at Sciety.

“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”, says Mats Sällström, CEO of Everdrone.
