Drone Logistics Ecosystem
The DLE is a free of charge, global multidisciplinary “quadruple helix” network of Companies, Universities, Public/Government, and Investors to stimulate innovations, collaborations, and standardisations in the drone logistics industry.
The aim of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem is to bring together stakeholders in the drone logistics industry under one roof to support commercialisation and marketing of products of Drone Logistics members. Since the industry at its inception, most of the companies are early-stage start-ups with limited access to funding, manpower and expertise, making us an ideal platform for companies to lend their expertise for joint-development of products, consulting, or simply as sub-contractors, or for any other format of cross-disciplinary/border collaboration.
The benefits of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem include.
- Inclusivity for all players in the industry with an open Drone Logistics Ecosystem.
- Standardization globally to ensure the smooth and efficient movement of goods from the factory to the end customer globally.
- A win-win for all participants in this emerging industry and the delivery and courier industry, and more importantly, the customers.
