Building a roadmap to establish a European strategy for the drone sector.

The objectives are :

- To build a common European strategy to increase the internationalisation of SMEs in the UAV market ;
- To identify opportunities and the main actors in the non-EU-markets (Canada, Chile, Nigeria, Senegal) ;
- To draft of a joint internationalisation strategy on drone and prepare an implementation roadmap ;
- To prepare and negotiate a Partnership Agreement in order to ensure the sustainability of the partnership after the end of the project.
