Amsterdam Drone Week has been considered one of the European drone industry’s most significant shows because it’s inception. ADW is co-located with the EASA high level conference on drones: it draws the industry’s most distinguished thought leaders from across the globe to listen to and contribute to discussions with European lawmakers. This concentration of high level stakeholders has at all times made ADW a distinguished event: but because the show has evolved, Amsterdam Drone Week is now a can’t miss for drone industry players interested by urban air mobility, smart cities, and the longer term of a society with access to life-changing technologies.

DRONELIFE spoke with Nynke Lipsius, the Director of Amsterdam Drone Week at RAI Amsterdam, for a glimpse of what’s ahead at ADW this 12 months. With over 25 years of experience in events and exhibitions, Nynke has dedicated greater than 13 years to RAI Amsterdam, where she oversees all mobility events. Her team’s objective is to create beneficial connections amongst customers, partners, and stakeholders by organising world-class events and platforms that enhance industry value. Central to this approach is leveraging digital transformation as a cornerstone for developing and implementing advanced business models, reflecting her passion for innovation.
What are a number of the key innovations in urban air mobility and business drones that will probably be showcased at this 12 months’s Amsterdam Drone Week industry conference?
ADW has at all times been a spot to satisfy high level contacts from providers and enormous municipal and regional users, as they collaborate with EASA lawmakers to develop the structure for drone use that may profit communities. Nynke says that this 12 months will again feature major players in each the sUAS and bigger eVTOL, urban air mobility spaces.
“During ADW this 12 months you’ll be able to see the state of art on Air Mobility; corporations like Wisk, Volocopter and Wing will share their latest innovations on automated/autonomous and electric vehicles. As we’re on the brink of the Air Mobility era; we’ll welcome lots of cities and regions that may start flying with eVTOLs soon like Paris, Osaka, Middle East, and California,” said Nynke.
“We’re also proud to welcome areas which can be already operating smaller drones for critical applications: just like the Hamburg Region and the Port of Rotterdam. Several drone operators will show their applications in verticals including police, fire department, customs, and delivery. These corporations will share different applications, business cases and their experience with traffic control during presentations and discussions on the ground.”
Are you able to share some insights concerning the EASA high-level conference on drones that’s co-located with the AmsterdamDrone Week? What are the important thing topics that will probably be discussed?

In past years, ADW offered a singular view into the considering and long run planning of EASA regulators. This 12 months, for the primary time, ADW offers an area for global discussions on Air Mobility, a pressing topic all over the world.
“Lots of the foundations and regulations for the European framework were succesfully implemented partly due to collaboration stimulated here at ADW. This 12 months, for the primary time ever, we’re very proud to be hosting the Global Air Mobility Conference along with ICAO, EASA, FAA and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management,” Nynke said.
“This Conference may have a worldwide scope and can address the necessity for a worldwide regulatory framework for Air Mobility. During this conference, top level executives of ICAO, EASA and FAA will probably be present, along with decision makers from the highest industry participants including Boeing, Volocopter, IATA, CANSO, GUTMA, World Food Programme, and more. This congress is a step towards the AAM Symposium of ICAO in September this 12 months.”
How does the Amsterdam Drone Week industry conference contribute to the advancement of drone technology and its applications in various industries?
Nynke said that the worldwide nature of ADW combined with a program that gathers your complete uncrewed ecosystem make Amsterdam Drone Week pivotal in the event of the industry. “During ADW the world-wide ecosystem on drones and Air Mobility gather, from regulator, authority to OEM, operators, and end-users,” said Nynke. “This gathering is important to implement drone technology in various industries; because the drone technology needs a reliable digital infrastructure, a Common Information System (CIS), digital traffic control but in addition local policies for droneports and concrete planning.”
“There may be also an enormous need for global standardization, harmonization, and certification of this latest technology. The role of ADW isn’t only to point out how far the technology is, but in addition to point out how what this technology brings to societies, and to make it occur.”
What are the opportunities for businesses and individuals to have interaction and network through the Amsterdam Drone Weekindustry conference?
One in all the explanations that Amsterdam Drone Week has turn into so critical for drone industry players is since it presents a singular opportunity to network – for business and for pleasure. With loads of space to share a meal, a coffee, or a glass of wine with colleagues, town of Amsterdam and the RAI center itself offer a very unique experience for collaboration.
“During Amsterdam Drone Week, we welcome all the important thing players within the industry. That is the must attent event to satisfy your potential clients and business partners or have a superb conversation with the regulators, authorities or someone from an industry you possibly wouldn’t have thought of.”
Looking ahead, what are a number of the trends or advancements in drone technology that attendees can expect to find out about on the Amsterdam Drone Week industry conference?
Amsterdam Drone Week is the place to explore big ideas: multi-modal transportation networks, IoT applications, AI-powered robotics – and the way this all advantages communities on the bottom. This 12 months, ADW will facilitate latest discussions about integrating urban air mobility solutions.
“Latest this 12 months, is that the drone week is co-located to the world’s largest smart mobility event, Intertraffic Amsterdam,”said Nynke. “We’re bringing the third dimension to mobility. We’ll show and discuss methods to integrate Air Mobility in cities and regions, from urban planning to societal acceptance.”
“The City of Amsterdam will share her vision on the Way forward for Mobility and drones, including their awareness campaign for no-fly zones against the unauthorized drone flights within the CTR. The most recent technology will probably be shared on AI integration and drone capabilities, the vision of mobile network operators on the implementation of a worldwide drone network, the learnings from flying the world first full electric autonomous air vehicle, and ensuring drone security through cybersecurity considerations.”
Amsterdam Drone Week is considered one of the conferences that we will’t miss. The drone and UAM industries are still of their nascent stage, when global collaboration and the sharing of ideas and knowledge are most important to its success. Register now to be a part of the conversation.
