Cottonwood in €2.6m series-B for Clear Flight Solutions

Unmanned aerial vehicle company Aerium Analytics also took part in the round.

Clear Flight targets an expansion of the funding round, which would bring the total up to €6m.

The fresh capital will be used for North American expansion as well as further development of the Robird 3.0, a fully autonomous robotic bird.
