Drones & Space Conference 2016
International Innovation on UAS Capabilities
The technological- and market development of the space industry still opens new opportunities for
Danish companies.
The Drones & Space Conference the 20th of January 2016 will give you a deep insight in business
opportunities by presentations from international market leaders.
The Boeing Company will present current cooperation opportunities and provide you with an
overview and knowledge of the market, as seen from the US point of view. Airbus Defence & Space
will cover the international European perspective.
Danish well-established drone companies will provide you with examples of the current product
development. What are the technology trends and possibilities?
Finally, DTU Space will provide an analysis of the connection between the drone market and the
space industry - including where the current technology supports development of new products.
Using the strength from both space and drones creates new possibilities of e.g. getting the earth
overview as well as detailed information about surface conditions.
The business areas and opportunities in drones and space are many – the conference focus is to
provide you with the full picture.
