Join us at Kulturhuset for the closing event of the RegulAIR project.
In recent weeks, the presence of drones in civilian skies all over Europe has closed airports and sparked high-level reactions from governments and security professionals. The geopolitical developments in Europe and in its vicinity have only elevated the centrality of drones in contemporary security thinking and practice. The EU is taking concrete actions to increase protection against drone incursions in its Eastern flank, and the Norwegian and European industrial landscapes are adapting to the wide transformation occurred in the technology sector via the Ukraine war.
Join us for this event where we will gather leading international experts and key Norwegian societal stakeholders to discuss current security and regulatory trends in the drone sectors, while also looking ahead into future developments.
