BlueRun Ventures Continues to Back ZeroG Aircraft Industrial in New Nearly 100 Million Yuan Strategic Round | BlueRun Ventures

ZeroG Aircraft Industry (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "ZeroG") recently completed a new strategic funding round of nearly RMB 100 million, led by Nanjing Traffic Engineering Co., Ltd., with Hefei Angel Fund participating, and existing investor BlueRun Ventures increasing its stake. The proceeds will fund continued R&D and flight testing of ZeroG's flagship ZG-T6 model (six-seat tiltrotor configuration), support mass production and airworthiness certification of other models, and further expand low-altitude transportation operations. BlueRun Ventures was the exclusive seed-round investor in ZeroG.

BlueRun Ventures stated: The ZeroG team has built leading technical expertise in electric takeoff and landing aircraft. Their deep experience in eVTOL manufacturing, flight testing, and delivery enables them to consistently roll out innovative products. This is a team that combines both technical strength and commercial capability. BlueRun Ventures believes the ZeroG team will play a significant role in leading the electrification wave in aviation and helping China build an integrated three-dimensional transportation system.

Beyond financial backing, China has in recent years rolled out a series of favorable policies for the low-altitude industry, gradually standardizing unmanned aircraft flights and related activities. In June this year, the State Council and the Central Military Commission promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of Unmanned Aircraft Flight, which calls for "promoting the healthy and orderly development of the unmanned aircraft industry" and "improving supporting infrastructure and service systems for unmanned aircraft flight," encouraging relevant scientific research, innovation, and application of their results — providing strong policy support for the sustainable and healthy development of related industries.

"If the accumulation of water is not deep, it cannot bear a large vessel." In this broadly favorable environment, ZeroG will continue building on its more than ten years of technical expertise, accumulating new energy to fulfill its mission of "green flight, serving people's livelihoods" and realize its grand vision of "building the third form of transportation on Earth."
