VisionWave Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:VWAV) climbed 4.4% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the company announced a key step forward in its European expansion efforts, following the successful completion of a proof-of-concept project with Germany’s DB InfraGO AG.
As part of its push into the region, VisionWave has named Judit Nagypal to spearhead its commercial activities in Europe and help accelerate potential deployment opportunities. Based in Munich, Nagypal is also being evaluated as a candidate for a future seat on VisionWave’s Board of Directors.
The momentum follows a 100-day proof of concept carried out by Solar Drone, a VisionWave subsidiary, in collaboration with DB mindbox—the innovation arm of DB InfraGO AG. The German railway infrastructure operator confirmed the test was successfully completed and recommended that Solar Drone advance discussions with three of its key departments: Sky Operations, DB Services, and DB Energie.
The field evaluation validated the performance of Solar Drone’s automated cleaning technology for large glass rooftops at major train stations, addressing a longstanding maintenance challenge for DB InfraGO AG.
“The successful DB InfraGO AG Proof of Concept is a meaningful commercial validation for Solar Drone and demonstrates the strength of our technology in one of Europe’s most demanding operational environments,” said Doug Davis, Executive Chairman of VisionWave Holdings.
Nagypal will now work closely with the designated DB InfraGO teams, Solar Drone’s engineering group, and VisionWave’s broader network of European partners as the company aims to convert this validation into commercial adoption.
