Dual-Usage Innovation: Latvier Startups Creates Global Strieves (Sponsored)

In recent years, Latvia is gaining recognition in the innovative landscape of Europe’s dual-usage, where cutting-edge technologies serve both civilian and defense applications. This year Deep Tech Ateliaer RigSpotlighting on how local startups are creating worldwide relevant solutions in sectors such as premier Deep Tech Conference, Mobility, Protection and Simulation of the Baltic region.

The defense spent on the rise and the European Defense VC investment Startups in 2024 reached $ 4.8 billion (according to Dealer), Time cannot be better. Latvia’s clever, science-driven startups are creating a niche with scale-based technologies that can work on both military and commercial settings, not only engineering skills, but also strategic foresight.

Deep Tech Atelia’s 2025 featured original notes and developed defense-technology ecosystems are focused on the integration of AI, autonomous systems and modular design. 622 countries have explored how operational skills, national resilience and NATO and NATO and greater European Defense Network are renewing international cooperation.

One of the highlights of the event is to sign strategic support for strengthening defense and protection research in the region between the Riga Technical University (RTU), the Talin University of Technology (Taltek), and the Kanas University of Technology (KTU).

Mark your calendar! Deep Tech Attalia will return on 14-15 May 2026. If you are interested in Deep Tech’s next key, it’s an event you don’t want to miss. More information here!

5 Latvian Startups by forming the future of dual-usage technology

From off-road electric vehicles and autonomous drones to realistic XR training platforms and unmanned ground vehicles, you can find a creation of five Latvian companies whose products have at least two uses!

These technologies are not only the engineering potential of the companies, it also reflects the ability to adapt rapidly with their flexibility and changing environment.

Ouruga: Electric mobility is combined with extreme terrain

In Spanish, “Pooropoka”, that is, Oruga is behind the world’s first electrical track motorcycle, designed to conquer the extreme regions, including wetlands, sand, snow and steep OP. Originally developed by the Latvian scientist Zuris cava, the patent Oruga Unitrak strictly combines anger with sustainable electrical energy by providing a new solution to the places to reach.

CEO Lynn Vitola says:“Possible buyers include hunters, forest rangers, extreme sports enthusiasts, people who think innovation is valuable and fast and easily for the ability to get anywhere.

The company’s journey began in 2021 at Lia’s Ignition Event, where a group of scientists and entrepreneurs joined the forces. Just a year later, Oruga Deep Tech Attailia unveiled a full-scale prototype in 2021. Now production is underway, the first five vehicles are expected to be shipped later this year.

Natrix: Modular Groundless Ground Platform

Developing by the Bruce Defense system in collaboration with the Latvian National Armed Forces, the Natrix is ​​a compact, transportable unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for both civil and military use. Its modular architecture supports the logistics, reviewing and removing accidents.

Natrix is ​​notable for its modular design and intelligent navigation system. It works in three modes: manual, semi-autonomous (including barrier identification) and autonomous (operator tracking and return-to-base effectiveness). It supports more than 200 kg payload, reaching 20 km/h speed and communicates through multiple channels including 4G/5G, Wi-Fi and radio, covering more than 5 km.

Work on the platform integrate new technology, improves navigation systems and continues to extend the platform applications. The company is planning to expand the use of Natrics in both the military and civilian operating environment, which has adapted to various tasks and operational needs.

Bearon: autonomous drone-in–box systems

Bearon designs autonomous UAV systems by providing uninterrupted, interfering -free surveillance. At the Deep Tech Attalia 2025, the startup has displayed its drone-in-box platform and target 1200 training models.

Bearon drones are significant for their lightweight design, weighing less than 35.6 kg, 35 minutes aircraft time and fast charging at the docking station (complete charge in 40 minutes). They carry a high-resolution 1080p camera, three-direction, AI object recognition and tracking effectiveness, as well as a built-in loudspeaker and a thermal imaging camera with a 100 DB siren. Drones carry a strong LED flashlight with a focus lens and a picatini rail to mount the additional equipment.

Applications, from city protection and mining to border protection and real estate observation.

Annicus: XR trauma simulation for Field Medical

Established in 2015, the Exonic is a Latvian-US company that has created the Aibnicus Trauma Simulator â„¢ rooted to the physiological training system distributed through XR headset or desktop. In contrast to the traditional manikins, the simulator reacts to the real -time decisions, making it ideal for military and emergency use.

Annicus works with NATO, US Army and European Defense Companies. It is specialized in NATO’s strong fighter 2024 practice and recently launched the Ready Medical One Program with the Geneva Foundation to prepare physicians for chemical, biological and radiological threats.

In May 2025, the Latvian Business Angels Network (Lataban) earned $ 85,000 to scale its presence in Europe and the United States

Mosfera: High-Performer Military E-Scooter

Global Wolf Motors developed by the Mosfera is a High-performance, The off-road electronic scooter created for military patrols, revisations and logistics. It combines performances with stealth with 10,000 WW motor, 100 km/h top speed and 300 km range.

Its foldable, waterproof design (IP 66) and 17-inch off-road tires make it ideal for rough zones and secret transport including helicopters. The scooter has already seen successful deployment with the Ukrainian armed forces and is also suitable for civilian sectors such as agriculture and port supplies.

Looking forward

Latvia’s growing dual-use tech ecosystem gives examples on how innovation in small markets can have an external global impact. Startups with strong university partnerships, inter -bound cooperation and target public funding are converting from niche to mainstream defense innovation.

Events like Deep Tech Athellier do not only provide a platform for these breakthroughs, but they indicate that Baltics are becoming a serious force in European protection innovation.

Deep Tech Attalea 2025 was the 7th and the largest version till today, drawing more than 2,000 participants in 62 countries. Participants’ inspirations from networking (46%) and from knowledge-building (29%) to trendspots and share experiences.

The next version of the conference will be held at Riga on May 14-15 on May 2026. More information here!
