EU Drone Summit 2026 – Save the Date!

The EU Drone Summit 2026 will bring together high-level representatives from the EU institutions, Member States and industry to take stock of progress under the EU Drone Strategy 2.0 and help shape the next steps towards a competitive, innovative and secure European drone market.

The Summit will open on 9 November with a half-day of technical sessions and industry-focused workshops examining the practical, regulatory and operational challenges that must be addressed to enable drone operations to scale safely across Europe.

The second day, 10 November, will focus on high-level policy and strategic discussions on the future direction of the EU’s drone policy, industrial competitiveness, security and technological capabilities. It will consider how Europe can move from a strong regulatory and policy framework towards faster implementation, market development and deployment.

With more than 300 participants expected, the Summit will provide an important platform for dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, regulators, manufacturers, operators, researchers and other stakeholders shaping the future of Europe’s drone ecosystem.

Further information, including the full programme, will be published in due course.
