The rapid transformation of markets is changing the rules of the game and challenging businesses around the world. Technological development and the introduction of innovations in production processes, including unmanned solutions, have become not just an advantage but a necessity for sustainable business development.
On 15 November 2024, DroneUA took part in a large-scale expert webinar “The Drone Game: New ways to grow your business with drones”, which took place at Centria University in Jyliviiska, Finland. The event brought together leading experts, innovators and entrepreneurs working in the field of drone technology to discuss the prospects of using drones in various business sectors.
Valerii Iakovenko, co-founder and managing partner of DroneUA, presented the company's unique experience in identifying markets with significant scaling potential for robotics, as well as introducing drone technologies into strategically important industries. The key topics of discussion included the best ways to find new markets, Ukraine's experience in drone manufacturing, and the effectiveness of unmanned solutions in doing business.
“Ukraine has proven that local production of drones using local components is possible. This has helped to stimulate economic development and technological progress within the country, and thus has had an impact on related industries”, - Valerii Iakovenko emphasised.
Entrepreneurs and representatives of international companies in the field of drone development also shared their thoughts and experience:
- Manu Aunola with a presentation of the VAU!START+ and ÄLYPILOT projects
- Antti Vainionpää from Centria University of Applied Sciences
- Stephen Sutton, CEO of Flyby Guys Ltd
- Ari Saartenoja, CEO of Radai Oy
- Ari Seine, Business Relations Manager at Älykaupunki
Together, the experts reviewed the prospects for using drones in business and the opportunities of the European market.
The event emphasised the importance of using drones not only as a modern tool, but also as a strategic approach to business transformation, which allows you to stay competitive in a dynamic environment by creating new models of efficiency.
DroneUA is grateful to NIHAK, Älypilot, and VAU!START+ for organising the event, as well as to the workshop participants for covering important topics.
