The future of autonomous systems is being shaped by technologies that are already redefining dynamics in agriculture, energy, security, and logistics. XPONENTIAL is the world’s largest hub where autonomy trends are set, standards for digital infrastructure are developed, and strategic directions for government, civil, and commercial sectors are defined.
From May 19 to 22, DroneUA will take part in XPONENTIAL 2025 in Houston — a global hub for dialogue on unmanned technologies and the digital transformation of key industries, with a strong focus on advancing autonomous interaction in complex environments. Organized by AUVSI in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf North America, the event will bring together over 1,000 exhibitors, experts, defense agency leaders, venture capitalists, innovation labs, and regulatory bodies. Each year, XPONENTIAL gathers thousands of solutions, case studies, innovations, and contacts — covering critical technological and strategic directions for both the public and private sectors. More than just a showcase, the event creates a platform for essential discussions on ethical considerations, safety standards, and shaping approaches to next-generation tech education.
During the four-day event, the following will take place:
Education | May 19–22
Exhibition | May 20–22
Location: Houston, Texas | George R. Brown Convention Center
Registration:https://xponential.org/attendee_registration.cfm
XPONENTIAL 2025 will focus on themes that align closely with the strategic development priorities and operations of DroneUA, including:
- Autonomous solutions for agribusiness — from agricultural drones to ground-based platforms;
- Next-generation energy systems — smart generation, mobile storage systems, and digital monitoring;
- Application of AI and analytics — in the field and within critical infrastructure environments;
- Integration of unmanned solutions — into industrial and urban scenarios;
- Ecosystem-based approach to technology implementation — through strategic partnerships, research alliances, and collaboration within international programs.
The exhibition area will be filled with solution developers working at the intersection of security, energy, infrastructure, and mobility technologies. The thematic focus includes maritime autonomous systems, solutions for Advanced and Urban Air Mobility (AAM/UAM), cutting-edge approaches to cybersecurity and counter-drone technologies, as well as innovations in component manufacturing, monitoring, and logistics.
XPONENTIAL 2025 will serve as a platform for strategic expansion of international presence, strengthening of partnerships, and promotion of Ukrainian technologies on the global stage. The event will open new opportunities for project-based collaboration and reinforce Ukraine’s reputation as a hub for high-tech solutions in the field of autonomous systems.
