Inaugural European Drone Summit in Frankfurt

Frankfurt/Braunschweig/Karlsruhe, 5 April 2018 | In addition to being a smart, up-and-coming technology, commercial drones are also an integral part of the digitalisation of business and society. The EU member states have agreed to introduce legislation regulating the operation of unmanned aircraft in Europe that takes into account both economic potential and safety requirements.

There is considerable need for dialogue at present from a number of perspectives. On the initiative of UAV DACH e.V. and the INTERAERIAL SOLUTIONS part of INTERGEO, the inaugural EUROPEAN DRONE SUMMIT will take place on 15 October 2018 in Frankfurt to support this process and bring together relevant stakeholders for discussion.

The following high-calibre experts have already agreed to speak: Peter van Blyenburgh, UVSI Max Scheck, Vereinigung Cockpit Jules Kneepkens, EASA a.D. Martin Brandenburg, DJI Dr. Andreas Lamprecht, AIRMAP Dr. Jörg Seebach, DeDrone
