- Europe’s leading provider of AI-centred uncrewed aerial systems to showcase operationally proven autonomous systems during Estonia’s largest military exercise of 2026
- New Estonia office strengthens TEKEVER’s local presence and long-term engagement with Estonian defence stakeholders
TEKEVER, Europe’s leading provider of AI-centred uncrewed aerial systems, is strengthening its long-term presence in Estonia through the opening of a local office, the appointment of Tuuli Vors as Market Lead for the Baltics, and its participation in Spring Storm 2026, Estonia’s largest military exercise of the year.
The move reflects TEKEVER’s commitment to working closely with Estonian defence stakeholders, local partners and the wider Baltic defence and innovation ecosystem. Spring Storm 2026 will provide an important opportunity to demonstrate how TEKEVER’s operationally proven autonomous systems can support persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, rapid deployment, interoperability and the delivery of actionable intelligence in demanding operational settings.
TEKEVER’s activity in Estonia is being led locally by Tuuli Vors, who brings more than 15 years of experience across defence, international cooperation and technology policy. Her appointment supports TEKEVER’s ambition to build trusted local relationships, deepen cooperation with end users and explore opportunities for industrial participation and collaboration in Estonia and the wider region.
As part of Spring Storm, TEKEVER will support a series of demonstrations and operational engagements designed to show how operationally proven autonomous systems can support realistic exercise scenarios. Drawing on lessons from sustained real-world deployment, including in Ukraine, the activity will focus on persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, rapid deployment, interoperability and the delivery of actionable intelligence in demanding operational settings.
Engagement with the Estonian Defence Forces provides TEKEVER with an important opportunity to demonstrate the relevance of its systems in demanding maritime and defence contexts, with a focus on operational coordination, data integration and support to timely decision-making.
Spring Storm 2026 itself brings together Estonian and allied forces in a large-scale exercise focused on the planning and execution of defensive operations in realistic conventional warfare conditions. That context makes the exercise a strong fit for TEKEVER. The company’s systems have been shaped by sustained real-world operational use, including in Ukraine, where hard-won operational insight has helped refine performance in highly complex and fast evolving operational environments.
Commenting, Tuuli Vors, Market Lead for the Baltics at TEKEVER, said:
“Estonia understands the importance of persistent situational awareness, fast decision-making and strong interoperability across allied forces. Spring Storm provides a valuable opportunity to demonstrate how TEKEVER’s systems can support those priorities in a realistic exercise environment and in close cooperation with end users. For us, this is about long-term partnership, operational relevance and supporting Estonia’s wider defence and security priorities”.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Lauri Kummel, Head of Naval Technology, Force Transformation Command:
“Strong cooperation with the defence industry is vital for us. We truly value the initiative and energy that companies bring to the table to help strengthen national defence. Real-life testing is the only way to be sure that new technology actually works in the hands of our soldiers. By working closely together, we can turn smart ideas into practical tools that are effective and ready for the field.”
The company’s growing footprint in Estonia, including its local office presence, reflects that long-term intent. It also supports closer engagement with customers, partners and the wider Estonian defence and innovation ecosystem, including opportunities for local industrial participation and collaboration.
