While NUBURU awaits the Italian government’s golden power, it outlines its defense go-to-market strategy and technological advancements
CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a leader in high-power blue laser technology, is proud to announce the official kick off of the working group made by the mutual management teams of BURU’ and the targeted defense-tech company ("DefenseTech Business"
part of the acquisition plan. The working group will also oversight the research and the development of advanced laser-tech-based solutions designed specifically for defense applications, as part of the Company’ strategic expansion in the defense sector, under the joint-pursuit agreement signed in March.
This announcement comes as NUBURU awaits approval from the Italian government under the "golden power" regulations, which oversee foreign investments in critical sectors aligned with national security interests.
As the Company continues to study the development and integration of its state-of-the-art laser technology with the expertise gained from its defense acquisition, the new comprehensive defense and security group strategy, to be delivered following the successfully completion of the acquisition plan, will comprise the enrichment of the portfolio of solutions with customized vehicles and advanced electronic products engineered for defense and civilian applications. The production of specialized vehicles - ranging from armored transport and emergency response vehicles to fuel tankers - leverages proprietary technology and components designed to meet the high-tech demands of modern defense requirements.
"Our strategic trajectory commits to providing advanced defense solutions is exemplified by our efforts to produce a diverse array of special-purpose vehicles, meticulously designed to support our military and civilian clients," said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. "Our plans aim at enhancing operational readiness and flexibility while ensuring our solutions are tailored for various mission profiles."
Additionally, the defense-tech strategic plan targets to fortify the new enlarged group capabilities in electronic products for the defense and security sectors, offering a wide range of system solutions including jammers and telecommunication networks. Notably, the DefenseTech Business is currently actively developing innovative strategies to protect personnel and infrastructure through the deployment of cutting-edge jamming techniques.
Zamboni continues "In a significant development, our targeted DefenseTech Business has entered into a strategic partnership with a leading provider of tactical ground mobility solutions in the United States. Together, they will jointly produce a high-mobility vehicle designed for rapid deployment across a diverse landscape of military operations. Capable of reaching unprecedented levels of speed and range, this lightweight tactical vehicle excels in off-road conditions and is engineered for versatility in military missions. This collaboration will enhance the capabilities of the Italian Armed Forces and other NATO allies, fostering an environment of interoperability and readiness. The establishment of local production facilities in Italy will further streamline vehicle delivery and support, ensuring robust supply chain continuity and bolstering national defense initiatives."
As previously disclosed, the targeted DefenseTech Business currently accounts a portfolio of approximately 60 clients across seven countries (including the USA, Italy, and UAE) and accounts a robust backlog of orders totaling $309 million, and options for an additional $181 million.
As NUBURU progresses, it emphasizes its dedication to leveraging advanced technologies and partnerships to lead within industries critical to national security and operational resilience.
