Nuburu Targets NATO Expansion Amid Acquisition of Tekne S.p.A.
What happened
Nuburu announced it has the funds required to complete the acquisition of a 70% controlling interest in Tekne S.p.A., noting no further capital raise is needed. The Italian Government granted Golden Power authorization on August 5, 2026, and the parties are targeting completion in the first week of October 2026. Nuburu and Tekne are leveraging Tekne's track record, which includes deployments in Italy and support for Ukraine's State Emergency Service.

Why it matters
The expansion focuses on U.S. and broader NATO and allied markets, building on Tekne's electronic-warfare systems adopted by Italian military forces. This move validates the products and opens potential sales channels within the defense sector.
