Helsing IPO in 2027? Hensoldt Expands Drone Partnership as First Hydrogen Eyes Robotics Re-Rating
Could Helsing go public as early as next year? The defence technology company is currently valued at a whopping USD 18 billion. To justify that valuation, Helsing is developing, among other things, the CA-1 Europa autonomous combat aircraft. Hensoldt is supporting this effort, and the partnership was recently expanded. Meanwhile, First Hydrogen is broadening its business model. CEO Balraj Mann increasingly views autonomous systems as a key technology in light of changes in the defence, security, and disaster response sectors. By building in-house AI expertise, the company aims to further develop its UGV program for autonomous navigation, situational awareness, and counter-drone capabilities, while simultaneously expanding its strategy at the intersection of clean energy, mobility, and robotics. If successful, these initiatives could provide the catalyst for a re-rating of the company's shares.

Siemens, First Hydrogen, and Oklo: Leveraging the Synergy Between Automation and New Nuclear Energy
The future of industry will not be determined solely by smarter automation or cheaper energy sources, but by the intelligent interplay between the two. While robotics and AI are revolutionizing production, they require a clean, decentralized, and scalable energy infrastructure. This is precisely where an investment opportunity arises, linking technological progress with structural demand. Anyone setting the course today must understand this intersection. And it is precisely here, where three complementary companies are positioning themselves: Siemens as an industrial automation provider, First Hydrogen as a connector of energy and automation solutions, and Oklo as a focused SMR specialist.

Physical AI Outshines Everything Else: First Hydrogen, XPeng, and Schaeffler Are Benefiting from the "Next Big Thing"
Experts agree that humanoid robots are among the largest future technology markets of the coming decades. Physical AI refers to AI systems that not only process information but also enable machines to perceive their environment, make decisions, and act autonomously in the real world. This forms the technological foundation for applications such as humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and a new generation of intelligent production systems. Physical AI is thus an ecosystem that connects semiconductors, software, sensor technology, robotics, and automation. But it is not just manufacturers of humanoid robots that stand to benefit—numerous suppliers along the value chain will as well. We look at what this means specifically for First Hydrogen, XPeng and Schaeffler.

How Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Siemens Are Turning AI Drones and Hydrogen Robots Into the New Defence Megatrend of 2026
Ukraine has brought the future of warfare into sharp focus. Unmanned systems dominate the battlefield. With the EUR 16 billion "Drone Action Plan" and NATO's robotic deployment on the eastern flank, this realization is now becoming an industrial imperative for Europe. The real turning point, however, lies in energy. Hydrogen fuel cells eliminate the range limitations of batteries and give autonomous systems operational superiority. This is giving rise to a new industrial complex in which Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Siemens are positioning themselves to capitalize on the megatrend of the next decade.

Plug Power in Rally Mode! Robotics Potential at RENK and First Hydrogen
Plug Power's stock has more than doubled since late February. It broke through the USD 4 mark earlier this week. But the rally will eventually need to be backed up by operational news. At least there was a recent capital increase. At First Hydrogen, the revaluation has only just begun. The company aims to make its mark in robotics and drones. It is targeting an interesting niche within the multi-billion-dollar markets. The stock does not appear expensive. Analysts recommend buying RENK, though the price target has been lowered. However, as is the case across the entire defence sector, momentum is lacking. But this could change soon. A defence trade show is coming up, and RENK is offering an interesting outlook.

Do not miss the return of the Industrial Revolution: Mercedes-Benz, First Hydrogen, and Rockwell Automation are leading the way
The next stage of the green transformation is targeting two stubborn sources of emissions: heavy-duty transportation and energy-intensive industry. Green hydrogen is replacing diesel and coal in these sectors, while driverless transport systems and autonomous robots are revolutionizing logistics and manufacturing. However, the key lies in the intelligent integration of both technologies—only this will pave the way for emission-free, efficient value chains. Those who recognize this synergy early on can benefit from future markets worth billions. It is precisely this pioneering role that Mercedes-Benz, with its autonomous driving concepts, First Hydrogen, with its unmanned hydrogen vehicles, and Rockwell Automation, with its data-driven production automation, are claiming.

The AI Revolution Is Unstoppable: How First Hydrogen, Tesla, and NVIDIA Are Ushering in the Robot Era
The global economy is facing many major shifts. One of these disruptions is largely driven by advances in AI and robotics. What were considered isolated trends in software intelligence, clean energy, and mechanical automation just a few years ago are now merging into visions capable of transforming entire industries and our daily lives. Visionary investments in autonomous systems are the new battleground for the global tech elite, while in more conservative economic regions like Germany, the combination of humanoid robots and autonomous mobility is often still dismissed as a futuristic pipe dream. Yet leading technology companies are inexorably laying the groundwork for this new era, in which multifunctional, AI-equipped robots are pushing the boundaries of what is currently imaginable. We highlight two of these visionaries, Tesla and NVIDIA, and explain why First Hydrogen has discovered an exciting niche in the shadow of these giants.

Nel ASA Soars! RENK and First Hydrogen Bet on Robots!
Nel ASA shares are currently unstoppable. Just yesterday, they surged by more than 15%. This brings the price gain over the past two weeks to around 50%. What is driving this surge? At First Hydrogen, the reason for the ongoing rally is clearer. The company is entering the robotics market. Its "Drones-as-a-Service" model is set to be offered in both civilian and military sectors. This once again links the company's existing hydrogen strategy to a multi-billion-dollar market. Currently, its market capitalization stands at a modest EUR 15 million. RENK is also entering the robotics market. Most recently, the defence contractor, known for its military gearboxes and propulsion systems, announced a contract in the field of autonomous defence systems. The stock is not currently benefiting from this. Yet analysts are recommending a "Buy".

Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Volkswagen: Betting on Unmanned Systems to Boost Returns
Autonomous systems are no longer just conquering the military—they are becoming the driving force behind an entire economic transformation. From self-flying drones to intelligent ground robots: artificial intelligence, falling sensor costs, and new propulsion systems are catapulting unmanned technologies out of the niche and into the mass market. Investors are facing a structural growth trend comparable to that of electric mobility or the internet. Those who identify the right players now could benefit disproportionately from the next wave of innovation. Three companies from different sectors are already addressing this field with concrete products: Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Volkswagen.

The Stock to Watch in the Drone Boom: NEO Battery Materials Expands Production for Military Applications
The opportunities from the drone boom, robotics, and electric mobility - all in a single stock. That sums up the NEO Battery story in one sentence. The high-performance batteries manufactured in South Korea are urgently needed across all these sectors. Supply chains outside of China are becoming increasingly important, especially for drones, and NEO provides them. At the same time, the company outperforms Chinese competitors in terms of performance. Production is ramping up this year, and the company has already secured a plot of land for expansion. The initial focus is on cells for drone applications and collaboration with the South Korean Ministry of Defense. This could open doors within NATO. It can really only be a matter of time before the stock takes off.
