Skyports Drone Services to provide demonstration showcase at eVTOL Insights’ Singapore Conference — five weeks to go!

With just five weeks until our first Asia-Pacif­ic con­fer­ence in Sin­ga­pore, we’re real­ly excit­ed to announce that atten­dees will get a first-hand view of Sky­ports Drone Ser­vices’ work in the coun­try’s drone test­bed, the Mar­itime Drone Estate (MDE).

Since 2021, Sky­ports Drone Ser­vices has been con­duct­ing tri­als on ship-to-shore deliv­er­ies via drone in Singapore’s waters, and now part­ners with over ten major ship­ping com­pa­nies.

Atten­dees will see the team and air­craft in action, but also gain insight into Sky­ports Drone Ser­vices’ dai­ly oper­a­tions out of the MDE and learn more about its suite of ever-expand­ing ser­vices includ­ing Cash-to-Mas­ter deliv­er­ies, bunker and bal­last sam­pling oper­a­tions, and pack­age deliv­er­ies.

Sky­ports’ Head of APAC, Yun Yuan Tay, said, “We look for­ward to wel­com­ing del­e­gates from eVTOL Insights’ inau­gur­al APAC con­fer­ence to the Mar­itime Drone Estate – an impor­tant site pro­vid­ed by the Mar­itime Port Author­i­ty of Sin­ga­pore, which serves as a reg­u­la­to­ry sand­box and ded­i­cat­ed space to test, iter­ate and scale impact­ful drone ser­vices activ­i­ties.”

eVTOL Insights’ Asia-Pacif­ic con­fer­ence takes place at the Mari­na Bay Sands from July 4th to 5th and starts with a pre-event net­work­ing recep­tion on Mon­day, July 3rd, where speak­ers and atten­dees can con­nect with one anoth­er before the con­fer­ence starts the fol­low­ing day.

The speak­er pro­gramme will be spread over two days and fea­ture fire­sides chats, keynote pre­sen­ta­tions and pan­el dis­cus­sions about a host of dif­fer­ent top­ics. They include finance and invest­ment, bat­tery devel­op­ment, land­ing infra­struc­ture, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and reg­u­la­tion and eVTOL OEM updates.

We hope to make anoth­er excit­ing announce­ment about a fur­ther addi­tion to our con­fer­ence offer­ing in the com­ing weeks, so please keep an eye on our social media chan­nels.

Tick­ets for eVTOL Insights’ Sin­ga­pore con­fer­ence cost £999, which includes entry to the pre-net­work­ing drinks recep­tion on July 3rd, two-day speak­er pro­gramme and the Sky­ports Drone Ser­vices’ show­case. They are avail­able to pur­chase via our Eventbrite page.
