Drones Beyond is DTA’s flagship initiative, designed to be a reference point for European and national institutions and industry shaping the future of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Innovative Aerial Services (IAS).
The event brings together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to share the state of the art, evaluate alignment between industrial progress and policy agendas, and promote more coordinated efforts toward high-impact IAS deployment.
With a strong foundation in real-world outcomes, Drones Beyond stands out for its pragmatic, action-driven focus. Among results achieved through European project, it showcases the results of R&D programs launched by DTA across the Apulian region programs that have already demonstrated measurable value and scalability.

Keynotes, roundtable discussions, and live UAS/IAS demonstrations are carefully curated to illustrate how goals, strategies, and models align with the operational realities and technological challenges of drone deployment.
