Tempest Droneworx™, a Houston-based real-time intelligence technology company, has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, one of the nation's leading venture capital conferences. The event, scheduled for October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, will bring together the Southeast's fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners. The selection follows a highly competitive application process and underscores Tempest Droneworx's growing prominence in the technology ecosystem.
Venture Atlanta has a strong track record of fostering innovation. According to the announcement, the event has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. As the Southeast's largest investor showcase, it connects entrepreneurs with local and national investors who can provide the capital needed to scale. Tempest Droneworx's participation could accelerate its ability to secure funding and partnerships, furthering its mission to prevent issues from becoming serious problems through real-time insight.
At the core of Tempest Droneworx's offering is its Harbinger™ platform, which aggregates, controls, analyzes, and disseminates information from unmanned systems, security cameras, LiDAR, thermal and RGB sensors, RADAR, satellite data, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture. This cross-platform intelligence system is platform-, sensor-, communications-, AI/ML-, and presentation-agnostic, allowing customers to integrate existing and future systems without being locked into a single hardware or software ecosystem. The technology has been demonstrated through programs with the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Air Force, including simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft and the development of airspace deconfliction and real-time 3D common operating picture capabilities.
Tempest Droneworx is also bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market. This engineering platform enables researchers and developers to build and test robotics, autonomy, cooperative control, and multi-vehicle technologies using combinations of virtual and physical systems in the same environment. Corvus MRDR™ allows teams to move incrementally from simulation to real hardware without rebuilding the test environment around their code, while capturing telemetry for analysis and playback. Such capabilities could significantly reduce development time and costs for robotics and autonomous systems.
The company serves defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets. As an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Houston, Texas, Tempest Droneworx brings a unique perspective to the tech industry. Its selection for Venture Atlanta 2026 not only highlights its innovative technology but also signals the growing importance of real-time intelligence systems in addressing complex operational challenges. For investors and industry leaders, this presentation offers a glimpse into the future of integrated sensing and autonomous systems, with potential applications ranging from disaster response to infrastructure monitoring. The event could serve as a catalyst for Tempest Droneworx's growth, ultimately impacting how industries leverage real-time data to make informed decisions.
