Naext, founded by Lukas van Delft and Victor van Dinten, is a European startup focused on creating a more accessible world through innovative, privacy-friendly technology. The company uses AI, computer vision, and immersive experiences to enable people to navigate complex buildings independently, using smartphones and smart glasses. Naext’s most visible application is making Dutch public transportation more accessible for people with and without visual impairments. The startup has raised €1.5 million in funding and plans to roll out its technology across Europe through European mobility hubs. The company competes with companies like Be My Eyes, GoodMaps, and Niantic, but sees them as ecosystem partners. Naext’s biggest success is the largest hospital in the Netherlands, which now has over 1,000 active users every month. The Brainport ecosystem supports Naext’s development, with investors, partners, and talent. However, there is room for improvement in large clients willing to adopt startup technology on a large scale.
