Project description
New drones to monitor the agriculture and renewable energy sectors
The recent advancements in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have led to the development of vertical and take-off landing (VTOL) products, offering both simplicity and enhanced capabilities. Aiming to leverage this progress, Aerial Tools ApS, a deep-tech startup, provides B2B services, offering unique surveying and inspection methodologies to improve aerial data acquisition and management of large and remote areas. The company's revolutionary VTOL UAS with a patented payload interface unit is designed to reduce operational costs while providing high-quality aerial data. The EU-funded AT project will take the innovation one step further. To that end, it will create VTOL drones and their associated commercial applications, with a specific focus on monitoring and inspecting the renewable energy and agriculture sectors.
Objective
Aerial Tools ApS (AT) is a Copenhagen based deep tech start-up. AT develops its own hardware and software intellectual property (IP) to produce a revolutionary Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) capable of unique inspection methodologies for remote and large infrastructure, with initial focus on maintenance inspection of solar parks. The aim is to improve aerial data acquisition in B2B commercial inspections and monitoring.
During this project, we target to accelerate commercialization, boost our product and business development and attract private funding. We expect to achieve product market fit and validation of our inspection specification by performing pilot projects with potential customer. Finally, we expect to expand our team by attracting sales experts and automation engineers.
One of our scope troughs the Women TechEU program is to attract and inspire other women to follow our passion into deep tech by getting in touch with women role models. We would like also to better understand gender equality policies and how to apply them within our organizations to promote women within a safe space that enable further possibilities for them. With the Women Leadership Programme (WLP), we expect to learn from experts in the same environment with similar challenges. Mentoring and coaching is something that we really value to improve our business plan, define the company strategy and reach commercialization before the end of the program. In addition, we are currently looking for investment.
