Skycorp Technologies: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Drones

22 May 2026

Summary:

EPS 41 of the Protect Europe Podcast takes us into how to keep drones in the air for much, much longer. And if you developed that capability, how would the world change! Join Marek Alliksoo, CEO of SKYCORP Technologies, who has turned this science project into something much more exciting.

If you like DeepTech and scrappy startups with huge TAMs, this episode is for you!

We cover:
1) How can you shoot a bullet through a fuel cell
2) The difficulties of getting hydrogen into the cells under pressure
3) How critical infrastructure, such as pipelines, needs drones that can stay in the air
4) What sort of business they are building and how investment from BSV Ventures mattered
