Swiss Drone Industry Day 2025

On behalf of the Drone Industry Association Switzerland (DIAS) board, we’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Swiss Drone Industry Day and General Assembly, hosted at the SBB CFF FFS headquarters in Bern.

With 32 companies represented and over 50 attendees on site, the event truly reflected the momentum, innovation, and ambition driving the Swiss drone ecosystem forward.

A Day of Insight and Inspiration

We were honoured to welcome guest speakers whose expertise sparked valuable conversations:

Heinz König – ASIPRO

Their perspectives on safety, regulation, and future trends set the tone for the day and encouraged meaningful dialogue among participants.

Massimo Fiorin – swiss aeropole

Nicola Flury – Digisky

Kirill Shilov – ALPIREUM

Each presentation highlighted the depth, diversity, and ingenuity of the Swiss drone industry, from cutting-edge weather data solutions to advanced aerial safety systems.
