ABZ Innovation's new manufacturing facility in Hungary — one of the largest dedicated civilian drone production sites in Europe.
The new facility is approximately four times larger than ABZ Innovation's previous production site, supporting a targeted threefold increase in production during 2026 alone, with a further doubling planned for 2027. This significantly expands ABZ Innovation's capacity to meet accelerating global demand for drone-based automation in agriculture and industry. ABZ Innovation's drone systems are currently deployed in more than 40 countries across six continents, supporting precision spraying, seed and fertilizer spreading, industrial cleaning, and cargo operations.
The opening reflects the sheer scale of demand across ABZ Innovation's platform. The L-Series continues to lead in precision agriculture, cutting water usage by up to 90% and chemical inputs by up to 50% compared with conventional spraying methods. Meanwhile, the C-Series has emerged as the company's fastest-growing line as industrial operators turn to drone-based cleaning over slower, manual alternatives.
Agricultural and industrial automation is entering a new era. We are building not just drones, but a European platform designed for mission-critical civilian operations — with full data sovereignty and the after-sales infrastructure that professional users need to operate at scale." — Károly Ludvigh, CEO & Co-Founder, ABZ Innovation
The Szentendre facility becomes ABZ Innovation's global production hub, supporting the continued growth of the company's four product series: L-Series precision spraying drones, S-Series granule and seed spreading systems, C-Series high-pressure industrial cleaning drones, and M-Series multifunctional cargo platforms. ABZ Innovation's products are CE certified, FCC compliant, and EU C4 (M-Series) and C5 (C-Series) certified, and the company operates under ISO 9001 certified quality management.
The company has been recognized with the Fruit Logistica Innovation Award for the L50 agricultural spraying drone, the CONSTRUMA Award for the C10 industrial cleaning drone, the Special Prize in Domestic Product Development at AGROmashEXPO for the C10, and its L30 LiDAR technology was recognized at the 33rd Hungarian Innovation Grand Prize. In January 2026, ABZ Innovation closed a €7 million investment round supported by Vsquared Ventures, Day One Capital and Assembly Ventures, funding manufacturing expansion and international market development.

European Firms Struggle to Keep Pace with Growing DSAR Demands, New Reveal Study Finds6.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
New research published today byReveal, the provider of integrated AI-native platforms spanning the dispute resolution lifecycle, found that large European organisations complete fewer than half of data subject access requests (DSARs) within the one-month deadline required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a shortfall the study ties directly to a near-universal absence of purpose-built technology. Nearly nine in 10 organisations still run DSARs on manual or general-purpose workflows, with no dedicated tooling in place. The report, based on a survey of 213 legal and privacy professionals at large European enterprises, is the first of its kind to benchmark how organisations across the region are managing DSAR compliance at scale. The findings expose structural inconsistencies between how organisations perceive their DSAR processes and how those processes perform. Ninety percent of respondents said they are confident their process would withstand scrutiny from an Informa

Xsolla Shows Brand Owners How to Create Value for Video Players at Brand Licensing Europe With Rewarded Marketing6.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Xsolla, a global commerce company, today announced it will be at Brand Licensing Europe 2026 at ExCeL London, October 6 to 8, to show brand owners how to engage with video game players by creating quest-based programs and value new users actually value. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261006443167/en/ Graphic: Xsolla Video games are one of the largest categories of entertainment spending in the world, yet most brands still treat the category as an experiment: a one-off promotional stunt or a single media buy, not a lasting engagement program. The traditional formats brands default to were never built for players. Interstitial pop-ups disrupt gameplay, banner ads go unnoticed, and in-game activations remain cumbersome and expensive to execute. The idea is already proven in games, where players have purchased, collected, and valued digital items for years. The relationship between players and games is built on t
