- 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 : 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🚁 Last week, we had the pleasure of taking part in the Flanders Technology & Innovation Festival Tech Safari : Future & Space, organized by Limburg Startup at droneport.eu. As a DronePort resident, we gave participants a live drone demonstration showing how drone-based logistics can make industrial transport more efficient and more sustainable. Seeing a drone take off and complete a delivery in real time says more than any slide deck! Thank you
- Partner Series #1: DronePort 🛬 Where do you start when you want to bring high-speed autonomous driving to Europe? For us, the answer was droneport.eu. Based in Limburg, it was a natural fit, starting from the fact that LRM, one of DronePort’s main shareholders, is also an investor in Aidoptation. Add the infrastructure, including an inactive runway that’s perfect for testing, and the local support, and you get the best possible conditions to test and develop. ⚡️ #Aidoptation #DronePort #AutonomousDriving
- Last week we welcomed the participants of the FTI Tech Safari: Future & Space! During their visit, participants explored our innovation ecosystem and experienced two demonstrations by DronePort residents. ADLC delivered a live drone demonstration, showcasing the potential of drone-based logistics for efficient and sustainable industrial transport. AIDOPTATION presented a static demonstration of its advanced autonomous vehicle technology, highlighting the role of AI in shaping the future of mobility. Together, these demonstrations
- First in Belgium. First in Europe at this scale. In July, AIDOPTATION became the first company ever authorized to test Level 4 autonomous vehicles on Belgian public highways: a 90+ km stretch in Limburg, including the E313 and E314. Last week, we gathered with our partners and media for a press day to showcase everything we’ve built and reflect on every step that made this achievement possible. Getting approval for high-speed L4 testing isn't just about software: it’s about relentless hard work, rigorous safety validation, and the
- Earlier this week, DronePort had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from Japan’s House of Representatives, including former Defence Minister Gen Nakatani, together with Ambassador Osamu Izawa and representatives of the Mission of Japan to NATO. 🇯🇵🇧🇪 The visit offered an opportunity to introduce our ecosystem and exchange perspectives on drones, autonomous aviation and the growing importance of international cooperation in these fields. During the visit, the delegation explored our control tower, aircraft hangar and
- One year ago, AeroVantis was an idea backed by a strong conviction. Today, it has become something much more tangible. On 1 September 2025, we incorporated AeroVantis at DronePort Sint-Truiden. Since then, we have spent a year listening to customers, testing assumptions, developing concepts and building the ecosystem around us. That resulted in completed Proof of Business, co-creation sessions, LoI’s and LoS’s, a non-disclosed customer MoU and the first living lab project ideas. I’m especially grateful to VLAIO - Flanders Innovation
- A major step forward for our resident company A Drone Logistics Company (ADLC). In Singapore, ADLC successfully completed a full terminal-to-mainland cargo drone mission over Singaporean waters, operating approximately 13 km each way between Pulau Sebarok and the Maritime Drone Estate. The operation demonstrates important progress towards routine BVLOS cargo operations in one of the world’s most demanding maritime environments. We are proud to see capabilities developed and supported within the DronePort ecosystem being
