NUBURU to Acquire Orbit, Expanding Defense & Security Hub with Cutting-Edge Operational Resilience Solutions

NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU) (“NUBURU” or the “Company”), a global pioneer in high-performance blue laser technology, today announced that its subsidiary, Nuburu Defense LLC, has secured a binding agreement (“Agreement”) to directly acquire 100% of Orbit S.r.l. ("Orbit"), an Italian software company specializing in operational resilience, business continuity, and crisis management for mission-critical organizations.

The Agreement involves a two-phase transaction and marks a major step in the build-out of NUBURU’s Defense & Security Hub, expanding its capabilities beyond advanced laser and vehicle systems into the rapidly growing domain of software-driven resilience and crisis readiness.

Strategic Rationale

Orbit’s platform enables organizations to anticipate, manage, and recover from disruptions across physical and digital environments — capabilities increasingly prioritized also in defense sector by NATO, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other allied agencies. By integrating Orbit’s Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) technology with Tekne’s electronic warfare and NUBURU’s laser systems, the Company aims to deliver an end-to-end suite of defense and infrastructure resilience solutions.

“This binding agreement is a pivotal step in our evolution,” said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU. “Orbit’s software perfectly complements our defense hardware portfolio, allowing us to offer comprehensive, interoperable systems that protect mission-critical assets and enhance operational readiness.”

Market Opportunity

The addressable market for operational resilience, business continuity, and crisis management technologies across U.S., EU, and NATO defense organizations is estimated at $2.9–$3.6 billion in 2025, expanding more than 10% annually. The Agreement positions NUBURU to participate directly in this fast-growing sector and meet rising demand for integrated resilience solutions driven by defense digitalization and new threat environments.

Financial Outlook

Based on its business plan and independent analysis, Orbit projects strong revenue acceleration:

• $3.22 million by 2026;
• $10.75 million by 2027;
• $19.29 million by 2028.

These projections reflect Orbit’s expanding client base and the scalability of its SaaS business model, which carries attractive gross margins and recurring revenue potential.
