Virtual Swiss Drone Industry Tour

Greater Geneva Bern area (GGBa) and Greater Zurich Area Ltd (GZA), the official investment promotion agencies of the economic regions of Western Switzerland and Zurich, are organizing the first-ever Virtual Swiss Drone Industry Tour.

Switzerland offers unique opportunities for companies to innovate, test, refine and deploy UAV technologies in the real world, enabling the collection of invaluable experience and data that can be directly applied to the broader commercial market. Our regulatory authorities are working closely with industry and their counterparts around the world to develop tools and digital technologies that will ultimately lead to an integrated and safe airspace.

This four-part webinar series will present how your company can participate in Switzerland’s technological and regulatory march forward. Each webinar will provide in-depth perspectives and real-world cases, with a distinct focus on topics such as integration, innovation, testing, partnering and deployment.
