TEKEVER, a multinational leader in advanced autonomous systems, announces its official expansion into the United States today with the opening of its first office in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This development is a significant milestone in the company's global growth strategy, positioning TEKEVER close to major US defence innovation hubs and operational end users.
The new Fayetteville location will serve as a strategic hub for technical support, coordination, and daily engagement with US-based partners. By establishing a local presence, TEKEVER aims to enhance its responsiveness to the US market’s evolving operational requirements and ensure that its cutting-edge intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue (ISR/SAR) capabilities are supported by dedicated in-country expertise.
Following the opening of the office, TEKEVER is set to showcase its market leading approach to AI driven autonomous systems at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, Florida (18-21 May), with representatives present to engage with attendees on how its capabilities can support the US market’s evolving operational needs. As part of its commitment to transatlantic defence innovation, the company will be present at the NATO DIANA booth (Booth 2611, on Level 1 of the Tampa Convention Centre). This collaboration underscores TEKEVER's position within the global defence ecosystem and its dedication to equipping special operations forces with the tools required for modern, data-driven security environments.
Paulo Ferro, TEKEVER VP of Strategic Development: "Opening our first US office is an important step in strengthening our support for end users and partners in the United States. Being closer to the people who operate, assess, and sustain these systems enables stronger collaboration, faster responsiveness, and more effective long-term support. Our presence at SOF Week reflects that same commitment: to stay close to operational needs, engage directly with the community, and continue building relationships that support future collaboration."
TEKEVER's expansion into North Carolina follows a period of rapid international growth. The company now has facilities in the UK, Portugal, France and Ukraine, and employs more than 1300 people, including several hundred specialists in engineering, AI and data science.
