In March 2027, the drone economy will gather in Düsseldorf. On Monday, 15 March 2027, the next EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM will take place. The day before the official opening of XPONENTIAL Europe, the Messe Düsseldorf exhibition center will focus entirely on unmanned aviation and host Europe's premier professional conference for the international UAS industry.
No single, decisive initiative will lead to a breakthrough for the commercial use of drones in Europe. Instead, various regulatory adjustments are needed, and a range of measures must work together in close coordination. Each year, the industry gathers at the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM to discuss what this might look like in practice, what demands the sector is making of policymakers and regulatory authorities, and how the European Commission, EASA, and national aviation authorities respond to these proposals.
Beyond an engaging agenda, high-class speakers, and an atmosphere of trust, one thing is essential: time. Time to exchange opinions, weigh arguments, and seek the best long-term solutions for all stakeholders.
The EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM 2027 serves as the prelude to the XPONENTIAL Europe week in Düsseldorf, providing the stage, the opportunity, and the time for committed, constructive dialogue. Join the conversation on the future of commercial unmanned aviation in Europe — and put the insights and perspectives you gain to use the very next day at XPONENTIAL Europe.
