Zuri is raising €6 million ($7 million) in a Series A round to fund the flight testing of its hybrid-electric cargo VTOL, with a first flight scheduled for early 2027. The aircraft can carry payloads up to 115 kg (254 lb) over 679 km (422 mi) and is designed for maritime and offshore logistics.
Meanwhile, Oklo is developing a nuclear facility in Ohio, intended to provide 1.2 gigawatts to Meta's data centers, with construction expected to begin in late 2028. The facility will utilize small modular reactors, which aim to lower costs and construction times but face regulatory challenges. The successful execution of both projects could significantly impact their respective industries.
