AirHUD™ is a young and productive startup. 

Hannu and Lassi, the founders, are both successful entrepreneurs, with a long experience in industrial design, virtual reality, and product development.  With clear vision of the product and the combined background of fearlessly creating new products starting from a clean board, the path was clear.

AirHUD™ was established in Finland, but its initial customers were located outside the country. Right from the outset, AirHUD™ engaged in international business operations and recruited talent from around the world. Today, the team is composed of 12 seasoned professionals, coming from 5 different nationalities. Being international internally and externally has just always been a part of the company DNA and we want to keep it this way!

The vision of AirHUD™ is to develop a product that benefits drone pilots and beyond. We believe that outdoor augmented reality represents a foundational platform with limitless potential applications, including air taxis, air traffic management, building inspections, and many more.
