Services
We develop customized drone programs for civil societies and governments. Additionally, we collaborate with research institutions to develop innovative use-cases in health, agriculture, and marine habitats. We focus on the following main activities:
Local Capacity Building
We organize a variety of training courses for professional pilots, NGOs, research institutes, and government agencies. Our main offer is drone data acquisition and analysis, and international drone pilot certification.
Knowledge Exchange
We deeply believe in sharing and creating opportunities through a variety of educational events such as Knowledge Sharing Days, Mapping Days, Challenges and Co-Creation workshops.
Ecosystem Building & Facilitation
Land rights, marine conservation, disaster risk response, public health, and agriculture are but a few sectors we focus on in our work. Drone data are used for participatory mapping of land rights and critical habitat assessments in marine conservation.
