Drone Business Talk

How do you keep up with your paperwork and the safety of your team in a highly regulated and compliance-driven field?
That is one of the topics our guests of today’s Drone Business Talk-podcast are discussing. We proudly present CEO Robin Kock and CFO Vincent Sepeng of Premier Mapping Africa, THE survey company in Southern Africa, and one of the pioneers of the UAV industry.
These guys have been experimenting with drones - think Hasselblad cameras attached to weather balloons to do photogrammetric mapping - as early as 1983 (!). Their innovative mindset has led them to have about 6 or 7 aircrafts in the air today, daily, flying multiple missions.
Learn from the best as they discuss UAV data management, fixed wing drones and LiDAR technology!

Social acceptance of drones. Is the battle over or did we just get started?
I had a great talk with Enrique Ventas García from ITG in Galicia, Spain.
Creating social acceptance for drones in the sky is something that we, as a sector, have been working on for quite a while now. And we have come a long way!
As long as we can keep showing people that drones bring a real added value for everyone and that we use them in the safest way possible, we will keep increasing the social acceptance of drones.
What do you think?

Drones are not only in the sky but also on land and in the water. Providing a client with an end-to-end solution isn’t always that easy and almost always consists of more than 2 parties working together.
I had a great talk with Christian Bering from Holo in Denmark.
Holo is the leading implementer, integrator, and operator of autonomous vehicles in the Nordics. Whenever a customer needs a solution for a problem, most of the time multiple parties have to work together in order to solve the problem. If you don’t want to deal with all those different parties you can ask Holo to come up with a complete end-to-end solution for your problem.
And it’s not only limited to drones in the sky, they are also working with autonomous vehicles that drive around on land!
