Vydar is a Delft-based deep-tech startup founded in 2024 that develops fully European-manufactured AI hardware and GPS-denied navigation modules for drones and autonomous systems. Its flagship SignalVoid module weighs just 30 grams — versus 176 grams for Nvidia Jetson-based competitors — and consumes only 3 watts, representing an 88% efficiency improvement. The company has secured investment from Tenzing Alpha and participated in the YES!Delft Validation Program, and has won the European Space for Defence hackathon. With partnerships with drone manufacturers in the Netherlands and Ukraine and a dedicated production line capable of 100,000 modules every six weeks, Vydar is targeting a global addressable market estimated at €1.2 billion.
