VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) and Israeli technology firm SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVRE) entered into a definitive strategic exchange agreement on January 26 2026 to create a radio‑frequency (RF)‑based defense and security technology platform. The agreement provides for $7 million in staged equity consideration payable to SaverOne and allows VisionWave to acquire up to 51 % of SaverOne on a fully diluted basis, contingent on milestone achievement, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
The core of the transaction is the integration of VisionWave’s proprietary RF sensing and AI‑driven analytics into SaverOne’s existing Vulnerable Road User (VRU) platform. By combining VisionWave’s advanced RF detection capabilities with SaverOne’s cell‑phone‑based threat detection, the parties aim to deliver a solution that can identify concealed, obscured and non‑line‑of‑sight threats in environments where optical and LiDAR systems are limited. This synergy positions the combined entity to accelerate commercialization in the defense and homeland‑security markets.
Under the terms of the deal, VisionWave will appoint one director to SaverOne’s board at the initial investment stage and may appoint a second director upon completion of each subsequent investment stage. The agreement replaces a previously disclosed non‑binding Letter of Intent dated December 31 2025 and is subject to approval by SaverOne shareholders and regulatory clearance. BDO Consulting Group has issued a fairness opinion that the transaction is equitable for both companies.
Ori Gilboa, SaverOne’s CEO, said the partnership “will enable us to bring RF capabilities into our VRU platform, creating a scalable defense solution that addresses threats hidden from conventional sensors.” VisionWave’s leadership highlighted that the deal will give the company a foothold in the growing RF‑based defense market, where geopolitical tensions are driving demand for electronic‑warfare and counter‑drone capabilities.
The agreement signals a strategic pivot for both firms. VisionWave will leverage SaverOne’s operational platform to expand its footprint beyond commercial AI and autonomous systems, while SaverOne gains access to VisionWave’s advanced hardware and software, accelerating its transition into defense applications. The staged equity structure and board representation give VisionWave a path to majority ownership, aligning governance with the long‑term integration of the two companies’ technologies.
