Our take

Skyral, born from Improbable's defence division, launched in late 2023 and quickly delivered its first product for the UK Ministry of Defences. Now operating independently, its core platform, Skyral Shadow powers large-scale simulations across infrastructure and human behavior or mission planning and decision support.

The company is seeing support for its mission too, having received substantial funding in 2025 which will help it expand globally and grow its commercial footprint. With over 60% of work now outside defence, it's rapidly becoming a key player in digital twins across sectors like national security, healthcare, and infrastructure.
