DroneTalks:

DroneTalks is an online platform created to spread ideas and educate professionals in the drone industry ecosystem. 

Our educational content empowers people of every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the drone industry and the innovative ideas within it. It’s on this platform that we also have the opportunity to host experienced professionals in our interview series who take this chance to share their knowledge on emerging technologies, regulatory changes and insider updates, among other topics. 

We also provide growing organisations with a number of different products and services, which range from in-person and online trainings for industry professionals to marketing and PR services for growing organisations. The most popular courses from our academy are the regulatory and SORA trainings, where we have supported various Civil Aviation Authorities and prominent commercial drone organisations to understand and utilise various regulatory frameworks on a global scale.

In addition to this, we host an invite-only event for drone industry professionals called Aerial Cities, where we bring together the most influential regulators for urban environments along with C-level executives of drone organisations. Our goal is to bridge the entire gap that exists between urban environments and the implementation of drone operations. 

Finally, our DroneTalks Jobs platform connects experienced professionals with growing organisations in the first drone industry job platform. Organisations are able to search for world-class professionals, while job seekers can see industry-relevant jobs to take the next step in their career paths.

Join us as we foster and develop a community for the drone industry.
