Bionic System Solutions (BSS) is proud to announce its nomination for EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 in the TECH category.

Based in Denmark, BSS develops data-driven technology solutions inspired by biology. By combining advanced signal processing, acoustic sensing, machine learning and real-time data analytics, the company transforms complex signals into actionable information that helps organisations make better-informed decisions. Its solutions serve both defence and civilian applications, with a focus on improving situational awareness, operational efficiency and security.

Turning sound into actionable intelligence

A key area of BSS’s expertise is passive acoustic sensing a technology that enables threats to be detected and located by analysing sound, without transmitting signals of its own.

As drones become an increasingly significant challenge to security, reliable detection capabilities are essential for protecting military installations, critical infrastructure and civilian environments. BSS addresses this need through its Komodo system, which detects, classifies and locates unauthorised drones by analysing their acoustic signatures in real time. Operating passively, Komodo can complement radar and other sensor technologies while helping fill surveillance gaps.

BSS also develops Iguana, a passive acoustic system designed to detect and locate artillery, mortar, rocket and firearm discharges, as well as approaching drones. By providing early warnings and information about the origin of potential threats, the system supports faster responses and enhances situational awareness in demanding environments.

Together, these technologies demonstrate how BSS translates advanced research into practical solutions for real-world security challenges. Its passive approach can also help reduce reliance on active sensors that emit detectable signals, while supporting integration into broader, multi-sensor defence systems.

Technology that strengthens societal resilience

The nomination is particularly meaningful in the context of this year’s EY Entrepreneur Of The Year TECH category, which focuses on technologies that strengthen society’s ability to anticipate, withstand, adapt to and recover from crises and threats.

Beyond defence, BSS applies its expertise in data-driven monitoring and analytics to areas including wastewater management, remote asset monitoring and noise compliance. Across these applications, the underlying ambition remains the same: to turn complex data into reliable insights that support better decisions, more efficient operations and greater resilience.

For BSS, this nomination is more than recognition of its technology. It reflects the importance of developing solutions that address emerging challenges and contribute to a safer, more resilient society.

We are proud of our team, our partners and the work we do to transform innovative research into technology with real-world impact and honoured to be recognised among the nominees for EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026.
