From the Aviation Valley to the Drone Valley. Join Us for the 1st Drone Conference and Expo!
The Podkarpacie region is the core of the Polish aviation industry and is now becoming one of the strongest centers for the development of unmanned technologies in Poland. This region offers exceptional conditions to become an operational hub and a place for the implementation of advanced UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems).
We are proud to invite you to the 1st Drone Conference and Expo in Podkarpacie, which will take place on September 29–30, 2026, at the ZEN.COM EXPO in Jasionka venue!
Why Podkarpacie? A Ready-Made Innovation Ecosystem
The Podkarpackie Voivodeship is a place where conversations about drones naturally evolve from hobbyist and service applications toward large-scale industry, safety procedures, and certification. The region has exceptionally strong foundations for this:
- Aviation Valley: This key cluster guarantees established expertise in design, mechanics, and certification, forming a natural supply chain for the unmanned aviation sector.
- Infrastructure and incubation: The Podkarpackie Science and Technology Park Aeropolis (Jasionka) incubates startups working on unmanned vehicles, providing them with facilities, support, and a network of partners.
- New investments (Drone Valley): Work is underway on the “Drone Valley” project near Mielec, which is planned to include a complex with a landing site, as well as a certification and research center. The Rzeszów Drone Initiative has also been established, aiming to build a regional hub connecting science, local government, and business.
Industry Leaders Within Reach
Podkarpacie is not just about plans — it is already home to real production and innovation. The region hosts companies manufacturing both components and complete flying platforms. Regional leaders include:
- PZL Defence: A new company announcing mass production of reconnaissance drones, combat drones, and anti-drone systems in 2026.
- Eurotech: An experienced manufacturer of reconnaissance-strike drones (e.g., HAASTA) and proprietary control stations.
- Dronehub: A leader in drone-in-a-box solutions, offering autonomous docking stations capable of 24/7 operations.
- Rzeszów University of Technology: The region’s main research and scientific base, where prototypes, simulators, and innovative UAS components are developed.
What Awaits You During the Conference and Expo?
The September event at zen.com expo is a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange between engineers, regulators, and end users. The conference program will be published soon.
Do not miss the opportunity to become part of the revolution that is driving the Polish aviation industry forward. Join us in the Drone Valley – the hub of unmanned technologies!
