Vertical Connect, Lda. has announced the acquisition of lots 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the A25 Business Park, in Celorico da Beira. The new industrial unit will be dedicated to the research, development, production, and logistical support of unmanned electric aircraft, high-capacity drones, and eVTOL platforms. These systems will primarily focus on prevention, surveillance, detection, operational support, and firefighting.
