●    UNVEX  becomes international maintaining its vision: To grow up with the market, across the board

●    Organizers expect to break records of exhibitors, attendees and visitors
Madrid, 10 de octubre de 2023. The ninth edition of UNVEX will take place from 4 to 6 June 2024 at Fira de Barcelona. A unique event where the unmanned systems community will meet to shape the future of this technology and its markets that are set to play an essential role in our life.
After the success of UNVEX 2022 that counted with 52 exhibitors, more than 2,500 visitors, 410 conference Delegates, 94 Speakers, including authorities from 11 institutions, both national and international, and 5 systems in live demonstration, the aim of UNVEX 2024 is to boost the international market, through technology, cooperation and the necessary financing.
The one-stop-shop for a truly professional meeting
UNVEX is designed to integrate all applications: security, transport and commercial in any domain: air, land and sea to generate a truly professional conversation.

Attendees will hear from the leaders to learn about the anticipated future of unmanned systems in all domains in keynote speaker sessions plus four vertical theatres. Find the latest industry solutions in the extensive Exhibition Area (10,000 sq.m.). In addition, there will be a Demonstration Programme taking place on 6 June to showcase the reality of platforms and payloads together with C-UAS systems.

Point of knowledge and exchange since 2010
Since its creation, UNVEX has been the benchmark for a growing sector for which this event is a point of convergence of technologies and opportunities not only to generate demand, but also to find applications to combine with the products themselves. UNVEX 2024 proposes the exchange of knowledge, generating business opportunities, and betting on the future by discovering new applications or collaboration possibilities.

UNVEX 2024 offers companies different possibilities to participate in the event, from sponsorship of the event itself, a stand at the exhibition or participation in the demonstrations.

UNVEX is a comprehensive event, born in 2010, which has demonstrated its ability to generate business in the seven editions held in Europe plus the four held in Latin America. Designed and developed by IDS, which also has one of the most widely distributed media in the sector www.infodron.es. The content of the conference series is selected by a Technical Committee made up of qualified representatives. The exhibition is the largest ever held in Spain and its demonstrations, pioneering at the time, include all types of remotely unmanned systems.

Will There Ever Be An Airbus A390?

Following the rapid retirement of Airbus A380's worldwide, what are the chances that Airbus will ever manufacture an A390? In 2015, American manufacturer Boeing began researching a concept airliner for the middle market known as the 797. Although the plan is currently on hold, will this numerical trend travel across to Boeing's European counterpart?

ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE READINESS INDEX

A group of panelist at the 2022 EBACE stated that "AAM Is bigger than just aircraft". And, while the majority of the focus has been on the OEMs developing the vehicles, AAM infrastructure plays a critical role in enabling the start and the eventual success of the entire AAM industry. AAM infrastructure is a complex ecosystem made of many interconnected parts - to name a few, landing infrastructure, zoning, permitting, airspace, weather, power sources (electrical, hydrogen), digital infrastructure/cybersecurity, multimodal operations, ground equipment, emergency response equipment, etc.

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Reality Index

The Vertical Flight Society counts over 800 entrants in the AAM industry with new ones added on a weekly basis. OEMs have also attracted significant investment from venture capital, private equity, SPACs, automotive companies, legacy aerospace OEMs and tech companies. However, mixed with the excitement that welcomes every new industry, there is a significant amount of healthy skepticism.  With all these entrants and all the interest in the industry, how can companies, suppliers, investors easily understand what companies will come to lead the industry, and which ones will not be as successful as they hoped to be? How "real" is the commitment of a legacy company or a startup to deliver a product to market?
