"We've found a way to sit together and discuss more than just regulations, which can be boring. We can also go outside the airfield, test things, and see them in action. We can physically interact with these devices, observe the remote ID in operation, watch the U-space software at work, and evaluate our performance." At last year’s Aerial Cities, Jordi Salvador Bernadí, CEO of BCN Drone Center, and our CEO and Co-Founder, Eszter Kovács, highlighted our collaborative efforts in advancing regulatory knowledge and hands-on SORA 2.5 training. Jordi shared insights into BCN Drone Centre’s commitment to integrating end users into the full spectrum of drone technology deployment, from concept to operational execution. He underlined the importance of experiencing drone technology firsthand, such as witnessing the functionality of Remote ID systems and U-space software in real-world scenarios, which enhances understanding and compliance with current regulations. Furthermore, the discussion delved into the potential for increased drone autonomy and its implications for revenue generation within the industry.

How will future cities manage the skies? This question was central at Bern, Switzerland's executives-only 2023 Aerial Cities conference. One of our panels explored the evolving competition for aerial real estate, focusing on the development of vertiports. Moderated by Richard Boden of Murzilli Consulting, the session featured insights from industry leaders such as Clem Newton-Brown OAM of Skyportz®, Juliana Carolina Kiraly Thomaz Rodrigues of Eve Air Mobility, Brad Miller of Ferrovial Airports and Dr. Christoph Selig of Unisphere. The panellists discussed vital topics, including the economic viability of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles and vertiports, strategies for enhancing accessibility beyond the wealthiest 1% and integrating these technologies into existing urban landscapes. The panel also delved into the need for a regulatory framework that supports this novel infrastructure, the importance of aligning vertiport locations with public transport systems, and approaches to security that balance efficiency with safety.
