On 11 June 2025, Drone Council The Netherlands, in collaboration with ADW and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, welcomed over 100 key stakeholders to a fully booked knowledge and networking event in Brussels.
The event focused on strengthening the European drone ecosystem through cross-border collaboration, joint projects, and strategic investment. Participants engaged in dynamic discussions around civil and defense-related applications, European strategic autonomy, and the need for market harmonization.
A key highlight was the presentation of the Dutch DroneBoost programme as a practical example of how national initiatives can align with broader European ambitions. The programme served as a catalyst for dialogue on how to build a strong, future-proof unmanned aviation sector in Europe.
