Startup Dossier
Zero Industries
Toulouse-based defense tech startup developing AI-powered navigation systems that enable drones to fly autonomously without GPS. Founded by former Instituto Superior Técnico aerospace engineering students, Zero Industries’ proprietary algorithm uses computer vision and real-time image analysis to determine drone position even when GPS signals are jammed — a major challenge in modern warfare scenarios like Ukraine. The solution replaces manual image matching with automated, intelligent navigation to enhance precision, autonomy, and safety in the field.
