Attending THE drone expo tmr - what would you like to see/find out? AMA
I’m attending THR drone / low-altitude economy expo tmr in Shenzhen.
It is MASSIVE: around 110,000 sq metres of exhibition space, some 1200 exhibitors, 10,000 products on display. The show covers the full low-altitude economy / unmanned systems chain, including:
Consumer and civilian drones
Industrial drones
FPV / drone racing / drone soccer
Drone components and supply chain
Motors, optics, engines, navigation, comms, image transmission
Mapping, surveying, inspection, emergency response, agriculture, logistics
Low-altitude infrastructure
AI + robotics
Anti-drone / counter-UAS systems
eVTOL and general aviation
Single-person flying vehicles
I have an engineering/software background working in Canada, but relatively new to drones. I want to understand what’s actually useful from a business/industry standpoint, what has potential vs hype.
For people who fly, build, work with, or follow drones: what would you be most interested in seeing from this expo? Any specific companies, or types of drones would be of interest?
Also, would anyone be interested in having on-the-ground scout for a day? I could look for specific products, manufacturers, pricing, catalogs, contact info, or general market observations while I’m there. I speak fluent English and Mandarin.
In any case, I will share some photos and general observations afterward! So let me know what you would like to see!
Cheers 🥂
