TESTIMONIALS ZEUS “We’ve had lots of interest in our products, we’ve seen people from many different countries, people from countries we’ve never spoken to before so it’s been really good for us to be at the show to meet people that are not just people that are interested in our products but people that are interested in collaborating with us world wide. We’ve seen some suppliers for kit that we are interested in adding to our portfolio so that’s good because we’re widening out our spectrum of suppliers and we’ve met a lot of British suppliers so we’ve met somebody who’s got a British engine that would go on our drone and currently we don’t have a British supplier for that so its been very good for us”

GIBSON ROBOTICS It’s been rather amazing!

There is a constant flow of people and are very engaged! Even other exhibitors have been interacting with each other!

SILENT FLYER Silent Flyer has received a lot of attention after the DroneX Expo in London last month where we demonstrated the Silent Flyer drone publicly for the first time!

CATAPULT

GIBSON ROBOTICS

“It’s been rather amazing, there’s a constant flow of people, being near the entrance is of course an advantage. People are very engaged, even the other exhibitors come over and vice versa, we go and interact with other exhibitors. We’ve had leads of all flavours, from serious businesses that want to do a partnership which is very useful, all the way down to kids that have just bought a DGI Drone and they’re interested ”

WEST MIDLANDS POLICE DRONE LEAD

“The show was busy both days really, for us it’s been quite a mix.

We’re an unusual organisation anyway but I think it’s a good mix here and what I like about it is it’s not dominated by the large industries.

There are a few but you don’t get lost among them its more companies that are really good for us to interact with and it’s a mutual benefit it’s not about us selling what we are doing, it’s about inviting them to come and work with us or them wanting us to work with them and that’s what really we are looking for”

ALVA INDUSTRIES

Our booth was electric! We met inspiring UAV community members who shared their innovation passion with us! We mingled with industry leaders and potential partners creating valuable connections and nurturing promising leads

NHS PROJECT CAELUS “An exciting couple of days at DroneX Tradeshow & Conference in London where Karen Bell and I were able to update delegates on Project CAELUS also a great opportunity to meet with Consortia partners”
