CiDroNet

CiDroNet is a joint initiative of DC Venturing and Helicus. It proposes a novel approach to urban mobility and logistics, based on three main components: 

• A network of connected drone cargo ports (DCP), seamlessly integrated in the operational activities of its users; 
• An open cloud-based command-and-cquicontrol center (C2C) that authorizes, monitors and controls automated flights in between DCPs; 
• A broad group of stakeholders that use this drone infrastructure for a diverse range of use cases, in line with EU, national and regional regulations. 

CiDroNet has three actionlines:

• Setting up a governance structure for UAS ground infrastructure

• Launching an innovation and development program to support the adoption of improved and new UAS solutions



• Developing and implementing supporting measures to accelerate the adoption of urban UAS. 

DC Venturing works on creating a convincing story, engaging stakeholders and securing funding for the CiDroNet initiative.
