Future Business with Drones – Munich Innovation Workshop

Co-create revenue-generating drone solutions with leading innovators, decision-makers, and business experts.

Munich, January 27 – 28, 2026

This is not a conference. This is a co-creation event where a selected group of European innovators, business developers, public authorities, and technology leaders come together to form a Superteam with the capacity to design solutions and business models that no single company could create alone.

Over two intensive days in Munich, you will gain more than inspiration: you will leave with real business opportunities, new partnerships, and a strategic edge in the fast-growing drone ecosystem.

Why You should join?

      • Direct collaboration with decision-makers & ecosystem. Meet representatives from authorities, industry, research, and end-users who are shaping Europe’s most advanced drone adoption environment.
      • Co-create with Europe’s leading minds. Work side by side with peers from across Europe in facilitated sessions. Together, we will generate actionable concepts for future drone business, from logistics and energy to emergency services and urban air mobility.
      • Turn vision into business. This co-creation event is designed to deliver outcomes: new concepts, pilot opportunities, and connections that accelerate go-to-market strategies.
      • Be part of the Superteam: an exclusive team of European experts driving breakthrough drone business opportunities.

What makes this different?

Unlike traditional events, this is a hands-on innovation lab. Inspired by successful lead user co-creation methods, the program includes:

      • Envisioning the future: identifying breakthrough opportunities in drone-powered business.
      • Use case based design process: Unique views to customer needs in specific applications. For example:
        • Urban air mobility & vehicle-drones (mobility / logistics platforms).
        • Delivery platform integration & last-mile services.
        • Advanced sensing and autonomy (quantum, AI, multispectral).
      • Opportunity mapping: exploring where ecosystems and markets are ready to grow.
      • Concept creation: developing pilot-ready concepts in mixed groups.
      • Next steps: turning ideas into joint business initiatives.

Participants include:

      • Industry leaders: logistics, infrastructure, and manufacturing companies ready to act.
      • Innovators & startups: agile developers of new drone technologies and service innovations.
      • Research organizations: providing access to Europe’s cutting-edge drone R&D.
      • Public authorities and regulators: to understand policy and shape future frameworks.

The outcomes You take home

      • Concrete business concepts and pilot opportunities.
      • An exclusive Superteam network with lasting business collaboration potential.
      • Fast-tracked market insight and trend intelligence, and emerging use cases.

      • Exclusive workshop report with full results and details, available only to workshop participants.

The most valuable outcomes and serendipitous inventions are often hiding in the hallway conversations, over shared meals and in those quiet in-between moments when someone says, “Wait, tell me more about that…”

You will walk away with far more than you expected.
