August Debouzy advised Aura Aero, the Toulouse-based aircraft manufacturer, in connection with its approximately €50 million Series B fundraising round completed with a consortium of leading investors including Bpifrance, Innovacom, Safran Corporate Ventures, the European Innovation Council Fund, Blast and Floriday Opportunity Fund.

The transaction will enable the company to accelerate the deployment of its industrial projects and strengthen its position in the emerging decarbonized aviation market.
