UNVEX’24 will gather the leading experts in drones on 4 and 5 June in Barcelona. Representatives of the institutions related to the sector, from regulation to users, including integration, at all territorial levels, will debate the most important issues in the sector.
The UNVEX’24 conference programme is structured in four theatres covering the main applications.
The Mobility Theatre will be the epicentre of the protagonists of the sustainable mobility cycle and will be attended by those in charge of regulation, María Algar from EASA or Roberto Gándara from the Spanish AESA; companies with very demanding certifications such as Crisalion; those in charge of the integration of these systems in airspace, Daniel García Monteavaro from Enaire or Munish Khurana from Eurocontrol; and those in charge of setting up the infrastructures for the correct functioning of all of the above.
In the Commercial Theatre, the focus will be on those commercial applications that have demonstrated the greatest efficiency: transport, from delivery to medical-health, energy, agriculture, fishing and Emergences. Experts from AENA, ADIF, Ferrovial, the Catalan Fire Brigade and the Port of Barcelona will be present to discuss all these topics.
