Tempest Droneworx™ has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, one of the nation's leading venture capital conferences, the company announced today. The event, scheduled for October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, brings together the Southeast's fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country. The selection follows a highly competitive application process and underscores the company's potential to disrupt the real-time intelligence market.
For Tempest Droneworx, the opportunity to present at Venture Atlanta is significant because it provides direct access to investors who can help scale its technology. Venture Atlanta has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. By presenting, Tempest Droneworx joins a prestigious cohort of alumni that have gone on to secure substantial funding and achieve successful exits. This exposure could accelerate the company's growth as it brings its Corvus MRDR™ platform to market and expands its defense, government, and commercial applications.
At the heart of Tempest Droneworx's offering is its Harbinger™ platform, which aggregates, controls, analyzes, and disseminates information from unmanned systems, security cameras, LiDAR, thermal and RGB sensors, RADAR, satellite data, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture. This technology is platform-, sensor-, communications-, AI/ML-, and presentation-agnostic, allowing customers to integrate existing and future systems without being locked into a single hardware or software ecosystem. The company has demonstrated its capabilities through programs with the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Air Force, including simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft and the development of airspace deconfliction and real-time 3D common operating picture capabilities.
Tempest Droneworx is also bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market, an engineering platform that allows researchers and developers to build and test robotics, autonomy, cooperative control, and multi-vehicle technologies using combinations of virtual and physical systems in the same environment. Corvus MRDR™ enables teams to move incrementally from simulation to real hardware without rebuilding the test environment around their code, while capturing telemetry for analysis and playback. This platform could significantly reduce development costs and time-to-market for robotics and autonomous systems across industries.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond Tempest Droneworx. Venture Atlanta's role as a catalyst for tech growth in the Southeast is reinforced by attracting companies like Tempest Droneworx, which serves defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets. As an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Houston, Texas, Tempest Droneworx represents the kind of innovative, mission-driven company that Venture Atlanta aims to spotlight.
