The Commercial UAV Forum has launched the European Commercial UAV Industry Survey, an initiative aimed at gathering firsthand insights from drone pilots and operators across Europe. The survey seeks to capture the realities of UAV operations today, including the challenges professionals face, where they find the most value, and how new technologies are reshaping their work.
The results will be compiled into a comprehensive report, to be released later as a free download on Commercial UAV News. The report will provide valuable data to inform business strategies, regulatory discussions, and technology development across Europe’s growing drone ecosystem.
“We’re asking drone pilots and operators across Europe to share the good and the bad of their real-world experiences in the industry,” said Matt Collins, Content Manager for Commercial UAV Forum. “By collecting perspectives directly from those flying and managing operations, we can help the entire ecosystem better understand what’s needed to move the industry forward.”
Insights for a Growing European UAV Sector
The Commercial UAV Forum, organized by the team behind Commercial UAV Expo in the United States, will use the findings to help shape industry coverage and future event programming. One participant will be randomly selected to receive a free pass to attend the Commercial UAV Forum 2026, taking place April 22–23 at the RAI in Amsterdam, where industry leaders will discuss market trends, best practices, and operational case studies.
Participation Details
The survey is open to all professionals engaged in drone operations, including pilots, service providers, enterprise program managers, and technology developers. Participants can complete the survey here.
