Terra Industries, a Nigerian defence-technology startup that integrates hardware and software by building drones and monitoring locations through proprietary software, has raised $11.75 million from U.S. investors. The round, the largest yet in Africa’s nascent defence-tech sector, sets Terra apart from a wave of smaller regional players and signals growing investor confidence in vertically integrated defence solutions on the continent.
