Global Alliance on Drones in Development
A Global Knowledge-based Community

The platform is developed and maintained by Caerobotics, a social impact consultancy helping organizations adopt emerging technologies at scale for development and impact.
Building a Global Collaboration Platform
We are a worldwide community of people who are passionately engaged with emerging technologies and are devoted to using them for strengthening their communities. Our members research, develop, learn, adopt, improve, invest in and build policies and programs around drone-based technologies.
Our multi-stakeholder community includes inventors and innovators, researchers, academicians, authors, program managers, manufacturers, service providers, activists, investors, thought leaders and policy makers from over 30 countries.
​
We bring these champions together for open knowledge-sharing, discussions, co-creation, and building crowdsourced resources such as conferences, courses, podcasts white papers, publications, workshops, projects, advocacy programs, policy advisories and multilateral cooperation.
​
Some of our signature activities are:
- Advanced Course in Drones in Development: 2 Editions of this unique course had 30 masterclasses on diverse topics with 30 assignments
