Lightyear has already raised 93 million euros in funding in 2021. This amount will be used to continue the development and production of Lightyear One and to expand activities, as there are possibilities to open a new office and development sites in the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Utrecht) and possibilities for expansion to Germany and the US Kingdom to be explored.
