Safe Pro Group Launches SPAI Ventures Subsidiary to Invest in Ukrainian Defense Technology

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) is establishing SPAI Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary intended to evaluate and pursue selective strategic investments and collaborations with Ukrainian and other international technology developers, according to a Dec. 28, 2025, company update from Northland Securities analyst Michael Latimore. Northland said SPV plans to evaluate investments in drone platforms, sensors and software solutions developed in Ukraine and internationally that may complement Safe Pro's AI and protective systems, with the goal of combining Safe Pro's AI capabilities with "battle-tested" hardware and software to accelerate time to market and expand opportunities.

Northland reiterated its Outperform rating and $13 price target and said the initiative could strengthen Safe Pro's ability to address evolving requirements from U.S. and NATO defense customers, allied governments and humanitarian demining and reconstruction organizations, while also positioning the company to benefit from Ukraine-driven autonomous systems innovation and shifting landmine policies that the firm believes increase the value of Safe Pro's explosive threat detection AI. The company's scalable platform is targeting multiple markets that include commercial, government, law enforcement and humanitarian sectors where its Safe Pro AI software, Safe-Pro USA protective gear and Airborne Response drone-based services can work in synergy to deliver safety and operational efficiency.

This strategic move comes as defense technology investment in Ukrainian-developed systems has gained significant attention due to real-world battlefield testing and innovation. By leveraging commercially available "off-the-shelf" drones with its proprietary machine learning and computer vision technology, Safe Pro enables rapid identification of explosives threats, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional human-based analysis methods. The company's cloud-based ecosystem, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), supports this technological integration.

The establishment of SPAI Ventures represents a calculated expansion of Safe Pro's investment strategy into regions experiencing rapid defense technology advancement.
