Everyone wants to know what the future holds.

Rapid technological innovation and digitisation are accelerating industries, and with that, new opportunities to capture come into view.

Drones are increasingly becoming a driver for growth and change - whether their utility is in service of optimisation, convenience, or defence. What's more, the categories in which these new technologies hover are swiftly expanding. And as the space between the airspace above - and us on the ground - closes, the use cases for drones multiply, creating a complex and compelling ecosystem.

What will this incredible technological opportunity achieve for everyday people?
Where can this opportunity impact humanity on a macro-level?
How can businesses and organisations employ drones to optimise processes and unlock growth?
What can we learn from one another as we advance our own drone initiatives?

Airwards anchors stories of drone innovation within this new tranche of airspace - the ‘Stenosphere’ - viewed through a future-focused lens, with the goal of connecting people and ideas for greater future success.

Achieving BVLOS

The continuation of our event series was on Wed-02-Nov-22 where the topic of BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) for drones was hotly discussed and debated at BT HQ. The panel identified there is still a long way to go until routine BVLOS is here however by sharing challenges we can come together and work with regulators + end users to bring about impactful change to people and the planet pushing the possible.

Accelerating Drone Adoption

The first in our event series was on Thu-19-May-22 where the panel identified potential low-hanging fruit in gaining public perception through clearer communications about the regulator. As well as the need to clearly demonstrate benefits within organisations, enabling their internal uptake and at the same time sharing stories about these benefits that the public can relate to, creating a 'technology pull' from society.
