£200,000 Strategic Investment in Hybrid Drones Ltd

S-Ventures PLC (AQSE:SVEN), the AQUIS listed investment company focused on high-growth opportunities, is pleased to announce a £200,000 strategic investment in Hybrid Drones Ltd ("Hybrid Drones"), securing a 2.67% equity stake.

This investment has been made at a significant inflection point for Hybrid Drones, which is rapidly emerging as a leader in next-generation drone technology.

Hybrid Drones' flagship platform, Hydra, has recently achieved Specific Operations Risk Assessment ("SORA") approval in the United Kingdom, representing a major regulatory milestone. Following an extensive development programme from Autumn 2025, the company successfully secured Operational Authorisation from the UK Civil Aviation Authority ("CAA") through a fully in-house submission process.

As regulatory clearance remains one of the principal barriers to entry and scale within the drone sector. The authorisation validates both the robustness of Hybrid Drones' technology and the depth of its in-house engineering and regulatory expertise.

Hybrid Drones is well positioned to accelerate commercial deployment and scale operations across multiple high-value sectors.

The investment is further supported by participation from MBDA, a global defence leader. S-Ventures is pleased to be investing alongside such a strategic industry participant and believes Hybrid Drones represents a compelling opportunity to gain early exposure to a high-growth business.
