Vagram

Vagram is a software development company headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, that specializes in advanced video graphics and real‑time rendering solutions for broadcast, advertising, and digital entertainment. The company was founded in 2010 by former engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and has grown to employ approximately 120 staff across three offices in Switzerland, Germany, and the United States.

Vagram’s core product line includes the VagramFX SDK, a modular plug‑in framework that allows media production houses to integrate high‑quality visual effects into their editorial workflow without requiring specialized 3D modelling expertise. The company also offers VagramStudio, a cloud‑based collaborative platform that enables distributed teams to edit live video feeds with shared effects libraries. In addition to software, Vagram develops hardware accelerators that embed its graphics engine into commercial set‑top boxes and automotive heads‑up displays.

The company has received several industry awards, including the 2016 Broadcast Graphics Excellence Award for its reactive text overlay technology and a 2018 European Interactive Award for innovation in virtual reality advertising. Vagram has secured multiple rounds of venture funding, totaling $45 million in Series A and B rounds led by European investment firms such as F2 Capital and Accel Partners. Partnerships with major broadcasters like BBC and Deutsche Welle have helped Vagram secure a market presence in both news and entertainment sectors.

Vagram continues to invest in research and development, focusing on artificial intelligence–driven scene segmentation, adaptive lighting, and next‑generation augmented reality interfaces. Its products are used by more than 200 clients worldwide, ranging from local public‑access television stations to major advertising agencies.
