The airspace is infrastructure, a fundamental aspect of mobility
Drone technology is evolving rapidly. The drone service market poses a real opportunity to foster job creation and a source for innovation and economic growth for the years to come. The lack of harmonized standards across Europe and of validated technologies forms the main obstacle to unlocking market growth, jobs and services to EU citizens. To realise the full potential of drones the pressure is on to make sure that these air vehicles are safely and securely integrated into airspace.
The Drone Association seeks to bring together under one umbrella scientific excellence and innovative entrepreneurship to advance European drone service market.
