On behalf of the Silesian Aviation Cluster, we invite you to participation in the conference entitled " SILESIAN AVIATION AND DRONES DAYS. The drone industry in Poland – the opportunity to develop the region thanks to unmanned aerial vehicles", which will take place on 26 November 2020, ONLINE.
The motto of the conference will be the Drone Industry in Poland - The possibility of development of the region thanks to unmanned aerial vehicles.
The event is organized with the support of the Marshal's Office of the Silesian Voivodeship.
The meeting will be a continuation of discussions and deliberations undertaken during the first conference in the series of "Silesian Aviation, Space and Drones Days" organized by the Silesian Aviation Cluster in November last year. One of the main issues discussed extensively during last year's edition of the event was the drone industry, and in particular the benefits and opportunities of future drone applications.
The aviation industry, and in particular the construction and manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles, has a huge economic potential that is worth developing, as there are great opportunities for global success in this area. In the area of the Silesian Voivodeship many entities related to drones conduct their business activity, and additionally many of them are members of the Silesian Aviation Cluster. This gives the opportunity to act together and join forces in order to gain a competitive advantage on the national and international market. The involvement in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles mainly brings with it great opportunities for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and, consequently, for increasing economic development in the Silesia region.
Due to the epidemic situation it will be an ONLINE event.
