APAC Connected Drone Workshop: Integration of Mobile, Aviation and Drone Industries

This event is now over. You can view the recording here.

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) – drone market is one of the fastest growing and innovative sectors of the IoT and presents a huge commercial and strategic opportunity for operators and their technology partners. For the drone industry, APAC is estimated to have the highest CAGR out of a $42.8 billion market by 2025 (source: Drone Industry Insights). The growth potential of commercial UAS is expected to increase, particularly when flights are safely managed for Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS). The true potential for commercial UA can only be realised by allowing BVLOS operations, which require future proof and flexible regulations by maintaining safety standards and reliable communications.

This virtual event, co-hosted by GSMA and Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), will bring together mobile, drone and aviation experts, including mobile network operators, regulators, drone manufacturers and specialist service providers from across the UAV ecosystem.
