Understanding Commercial UAVs & their potential applications in the Energy Sector

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more commonly referred to as "drones," have made quite the splash with hobbyists and entrepreneurs alike since bursting into the civilian sphere.

So far, businesses have used drones largely in video and photography, especially for marketing purposes, but there are many other applications of UAV technology that might surprise you. From agriculture to internet access, drones are a multipurpose tool that offers the potential to reimagine some of the most critical ways humanity operates.

Knowing that drones are one of the hot technology topics of the future of Dubai, and having in mind megacompanies such as Amazon are looking into applying them in their everyday operations, we will also look at how these technology enablers will help bring about new breakthroughs in operations and development of the energy sector.

Topic of drones in the energy sector is best introduced by a speaker passionate about technology, who brings his professional knowledge as drone operator and consultant together with great presentational skills to introduce us to the topic and get our ideas flowing.
