Overview
Helicus operates certified, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone flights for hospitals, laboratories, ports, and industrial sites. The company carries medical samples, blood products, medicines, and industrial cargo faster than ground alternatives. Services include drone transport, integrated logistics, and authorisations.

- Before we dive in the weekend, autonomous rail, drones and driverless vehicles, all running live in one afternoon at the second Autonomous Summit in Stad Antwerpen this week. What stood out to us: OTIV, ADLC, Helicus, Tective Robotics ( 2 winners of our pitch sessions together with Hubs4Growth & VLAIO - Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship) and Ghent University Racing did not present roadmaps, they ran demos. That gap between slide and system is the whole story of autonomy in ports right now. We hosted the Portuguese port
- Drone Horizon, condensed into a few minutes of footage. ADLC and Helicus took to the air with live demos. Tective Robotics walked away with the win from our pitch session and becomes a member for one year at The Beacon. Worth a rewatch if you were there, and worth a first watch if you weren't.

- Le 31 mars dernier, le CHU de Liège a lancé un pilote de transport médical par drones avec la société Helicus, dans le cadre du projet européen SAFIR-Ready. Poches de sang, biopsies, traitements de chimiothérapie et d'immunothérapie : les délais passent de 25 minutes par la route à quelques minutes par les airs entre deux de ses sites hospitaliers. Objectif à terme : couvrir 80 % du territoire belge en six minutes pour les interventions d'urgence. On avait déjà anticipé cette dynamique dans un livre blanc de notre bibliothèque
- Helicus flies certified BVLOS drone missions, including over the Antwerp area. Petrochemical samples, Blood, clinical biology & tissue samples, medicine and industrial cargo, all moving faster through the air than anything on the road can manage. Last year they were the first ever to fly with a cargo drone across the river, linking a petrochemical terminal to a laboratory at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. Since then they added North-South routes and now cover the entire port area for commercial operations. Based on 10 years of
- In one word, how would you describe the SAFIR-Ready Conference in #Liège? The SAFIR-Ready Conference marked a major milestone for the project, bringing together aviation authorities, European organisations, defence, and industry to reflect on the progress achieved and what must come next. We asked five leading experts to describe the event in one word and share the key message they took away from the conference: 🔹 Munish Khurana, Senior Manager ATM/UTM Business Development at EUROCONTROL 🔹 Daan D., Head of Department IAM at
- Fifteen companies will pitch on our stage next week at Port of The Future (Port of Antwerp-Bruges). Six of them are not Belgian. On Tuesday 15th of September at DroneHorizon, Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg each send two companies to the same stage: dotOcean, ADLC, Tective Robotics, Mozaero, Airial UAS and HHLA Sky GmbH. Two themes, sensing the port and operating the port. Five minutes each, then questions from a bench of port end users who actually buy this technology. On Wednesday 16th of September at the Autonomous Summit, nine
- New routes, shorter journeys, and faster connections! See how our project coordinator, Helicus, is reshaping logistics in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in the article below! https://lnkd.in/d2hkwFW8 🇪🇺 The SAFIR-Ready project belongs to the SESAR Joint Undertaking and is co-funded by the European Commission through #HorizonEurope. Fulfilling the EU Strategic vision, SAFIR Ready innovates through an #Open_Modular_Architecture, designed for flexibility and scalability. The project is developing a Drone Cargo Port, enabling
- What if drones could carry cargo?" Two of our members stopped asking that question a while ago. ADLC flies chemical samples between BASF and SGS inside the port. Ten minutes by air, against roughly an hour by road. Helicus runs certified BVLOS flights for hospitals and labs, and has been validating cargo drone routes in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges geozone. The drone in this video is not a rendering. It works here, today. On 15 and 16 September we are at Quay 102 for Port of the Future Week, showing autonomous port tech that has
