Former Palantir executives launched Onodrim, a European defense startup, in February 2026, aiming to rival U.S. firms like Palantir and Anduril in military-industrial technology. Based in Amsterdam, Onodrim integrates software, hardware, and advanced manufacturing to build a continent-wide defense ecosystem for European governments and allies. The startup emerges from stealth with backing from Peter Thiel’s network, positioning itself as a strategic alternative to American defense tech dominance in Europe. Onodrim targets multi-million-dollar contracts, leveraging existing demand from European nations seeking sovereign defense capabilities amid rising geopolitical tensions. Its model mirrors Palantir’s data-driven approach but focuses on localized production, addressing EU concerns over supply chain resilience and technological autonomy.
