Discover the added value of industrial drone applications in agriculture and horticulture
On Thursday 10 February 2022, Boerenbond, ILVO, VITO, PC Fruit and Agoria organise a new DronePort Connect session in collaboration with Dronecluster EUKA / Flanders Make and DronePort. The programme of this inspiring evening consists of a series of keynotes, combined with some use cases and business pitches from companies who present their products and services around drone applications.
We will do our utmost to have this networking event take place in a limited (physical but safe) group at DronePort. But if the corona situation does not allow it, the event will be hosted online.
