Ukrainian Trinity Robotics raised €500,000 to scale UGV production

Ukrainian company Trinity Robotics, which develops unmanned ground vehicles, has raised new investment. The company received backing from Defence Builder Fund I and Swedish investment firms Front Ventures and Hede Capital. The funds will go towards scaling production of the company’s flagship platform, Konyk ONE.

The total investment sum has not been disclosed, but it is known that Front Ventures invested SEK 2.4 million (approximately $250,000). The typical cheque size for Defence Builder Fund is $100,000–300,000. Hede Capital makes investments of a similar scale – for example, it invested $90,000 in Ukrainian company Bravo Dynamics.

UPD: Following publication, Trinity Robotics clarified that the total investment raised amounted to €500,000.

Front Ventures CEO Jonas Malmgren says several characteristics of the company caught their attention: the team, a cost-effective product, and its active collaboration with other manufacturers to adapt the UGV to new combat tasks. The company has not yet disclosed partners or details of individual projects.

Hede Capital Partners AB founder Patrik Olson also adds that he was impressed by the team’s competence, execution capability and clear understanding of the operational challenges they are solving. In the investment company’s view, Trinity’s platform has significant potential.

Currently, Konyk ONE is suited to three tasks: logistics, evacuation, and mining/demining. The UGV can be fitted with weapon configurations, additional armour and specialised software for these tasks.

The system carries up to 300 kg of cargo and can travel 45 km on a single charge under full load. The platform operates in various weather conditions and fits into a pickup truck. The UGV also uses Starlink and LTE for communication and autonomous GPS modules to carry out missions.

Trinity produces up to 70 systems per month and plans to reach over 150. Malmgren says the number of orders from their partner is growing, and the capital raised will be used to purchase additional production equipment. Today, Konyk ONE is used by over 20 military units.

Besides scaling, the investment will be used to expand the R&D team and accelerate the development of new robotic solutions. Trinity Robotics plans to gradually move beyond UGVs and develop solutions for air and sea, forming an ecosystem of unmanned systems.

Front Ventures has also dedicated an analytical report to Ukrainian UGVs, The Rise of Unmanned Ground Vehicles. According to the company, UGV deliveries in Ukraine grew by 650% over the year – from 2,000 units in 2024 to 15,000 systems in 2025. According to KSE Institute, Brave1 and Defence Builder, more than 50 companies currently operate in this market. Logistics platforms account for the largest share – 61% of the total volume.
