Arcos, a Munich-based civil security technology company combining security infrastructure, signal processing and incident management, has raised €5.5 million in seed financing. HTGF, Bayern Kapital, Pact, Haufe, Robin Capital and strategic business angels participated in the round.
The funding will support team expansion in Germany, product development and the rollout of Arcos technology across critical infrastructure, with further European markets planned.
Building Integrated Security Infrastructure
Arcos develops and operates technology designed to connect security signals, decision-making and incident management within a single infrastructure. The platform processes information from connected sources, manages incidents through resolution and documents each step, while human operators remain responsible for decisions requiring judgment.
The technology addresses growing security challenges across homes, commercial properties, railway infrastructure, substations, data centres and other critical facilities. Rising sensor deployment and workforce shortages are increasing demand for systems capable of turning security alerts into operational responses.
“This industry helps decide whether the country functions, and it is changing faster than ever before. More sensors, fewer people. What is missing is someone who looks. That is exactly what we are building with our technology and the offering of a full-service provider.” - Louis Wübben, Founder and Managing Director of Arcos
Combining Technology With Security Operations
Arcos develops software while operating security infrastructure directly, allowing operational requirements to feed into product development. The same control centre, software and processes can support different environments, from commercial properties and construction sites to critical infrastructure.
“We combine signal processing and the operational process in one system. As a result, we see immediately in daily operations where workflows need to improve, and we can implement those improvements ourselves.” - Moritz Steigerwald, Founder and Managing Director of Arcos
Expanding Across Critical Infrastructure
The €5.5 million financing will help Arcos expand the team, extend the platform and scale operations in the critical infrastructure market before entering additional European markets.
“Protecting critical infrastructure is a central task of our time. With Arcos, we are backing an outstanding team that will shape this rapidly growing market, while strengthening Europe’s security and technological sovereignty.” - Sebastian Borek, Managing Director of HTGF
