XPO+ Launcher Start-Up Ecosystem

The XPO+ Launcher also offers conference contributions for technology experts. Specifically designed for the young industry of autonomous start-ups, the XPO+ Launcher is a global scouting and screening platform that paves the way for innovators into the XPO+ ecosystem. In addition to demonstrations in action and an Award Pitch, there is a networking lounge where innovative autonomous technologies are showcased.

Droneresponders European Public Safety and Emergency Forum for Drone Operations

During emergencies and incidents, Droneresponders, autonomous aerial systems (UAS) worldwide, are seen launching into the sky. The forum is a non-profit program that brings together these new aerial rescuers, emergency managers, and search and rescue specialists to learn, train, and test together. The goal is to maximize drone operations for public safety. The program is led by Chief Charles Werner. Droneresponders is an official non-profit program. Members benefit free of charge from research and information that make their operations with unmanned aerial systems even more successful.
