VÆRIDION

At VÆRIDION, we are proud to be a member of BDLI Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie e.V. and stand alongside in the “Zukunft beginnt oben” campaign. As a European company based in Munich, deeply rooted in the German aviation ecosystem, we believe in a future where aerospace drives innovation, sustainability, and progress. Change takes action and innovative products, and the potential of regional electric flight is no longer just an idea—it’s happening. With the right support, we can drive real change and position Europe at the forefront of zero-emission aviation. Let´s go! Let’s realise the potential of regional air mobility—together. ✈️⚡ #ZukunftBeginnOben #ElectricAviation #Innovation #Sustainability #Vaeridion #FutureOfFlight #Verteidigung #BDLI 

🚀 Progress won’t wait. This year’s International Women’s Day theme, #AccelerateAction, is a call to move faster and with purpose toward gender equality. In aerospace and STEM, where women are still underrepresented, change doesn’t happen by chance, it happens when we challenge norms, amplify voices, and create real opportunities. To celebrate Women’s Day this past weekend, we asked some of the incredible women at VÆRIDION what Accelerate Action means to them. Here’s what they had to say... 💡What does it mean to you? Drop your thoughts below. ⬇️ #Vaeridion #iwd2025 #internationalwomensday #WomenEmpowerment #ChallengesAndProgress #Inclusion #GenderEquality #womeninleadership #WomenOfVaeridion #WomenInSTEM #WomenInAerospaceEngineering #AccelerateAction

Thrilled to share that we have been featured in Forbes! This spotlight is a huge milestone for us, highlighting our mission to redefine regional air travel and the progress we’re making towards delivering the first electric commercial aircraft by 2030. As our CEO Ivor van Dartel put it: “This is an innovative, and perhaps a changed, approach but not a reinvention. We have designed our aircraft in such a way that it is certifiable in multiple markets largely under existing regulations. This irons out many of the complexities encountered by others in our field.  (...) But unlike us, many eVTOL companies started working on product for which no regulations existed. This created a moving target, and the problems associated with it, problems we don’t have to face.” A big thank you to Gaurav Sharma for visiting us, diving into our vision, and sharing our story with the world!  We’re grateful for the recognition and excited to continue pushing boundaries with our incredible team and supporters by our side. While the world seems to grow more uncertain, we stay focused, bringing people closer with sustainable, affordable air travel. Here’s to the future of cleaner skies! 🌍 🔗 Read the full article here:  https://lnkd.in/dvW8AFVf #Vaeridion #ElectricAviation #GreenAirMobility #SustainableTravel #ForbesFeature

✈️VÆRIDION at the 9th Innovationsflughafen PAD Forum! ⚡ What a fantastic initiative from Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, bringing together innovation, technology, and sustainability to shape the future of regional aviation! Our esteemed Executive Advisor, Thorsten Luft, took the stage to share VÆRIDION’s vision for electric air mobility: the fully electric 9-seater Microliner, designed for regional routes up to 400 km under IFR conditions, taking off with zero emissions from 2030! And here’s why events like this matter: regional airports, like PAD, will be key players in the future of sustainable air travel, preparing for new propulsion technologies and paving the way for smarter, greener short-haul travel. It’s also exciting to see other concepts for smarter, greener solutions, from automated boarding bridges to AI-powered wildlife detection, pushing the boundaries of what’s next in regional aviation. A huge thanks to Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport and everyone who made this event so special. Here’s to more innovation, collaboration, and a greener future for flight! #Innovation #Aviation #Sustainability #FutureOfFlight #ElectricAviation #PADForum #Vaeridion
