Thanks to the growing use of drones in sectors ranging from the military to risk prevention and urban transportation, the drone economy is becoming a key theme for the Italian innovation ecosystem. This process, already underway globally, in fact clashes with an Italian supply chain that is still struggling to recover from the hard blow inflicted by the recent pandemic crisis, despite its many potentials.
The Campania region stands out strongly as a region at the forefront of the issue, where innovation in the use of drones has recently taken on a dual value of environmental security and fighting crime.
This meeting, which brings together a select group of key opinion leaders, is therefore intended to be a unique opportunity to propose specific recommendations in order to revive the development of an Italian supply chain that is still struggling to recover from the hard blow inflicted by the recent pandemic crisis, but which shows considerable potential.
