According to Emerson Granemann, general director of MundoGEO#Connect and DroneShow, both events accomplished their missions. “The DroneShow and MundoGEO#Connect presented solutions and products aligned to the 4.0 Industry, as with all sorts of sensors embedded to satellites, manned airplanes, cars, drones and fixed stations. Virtual reality, embedded technology and intelligent software completed the fair along with service providing companies and startups. In the several activities, such as courses, lectures and debates, results were presented as well as trends and an evaluation of the sector supply chain alongside the regulatory agencies in charge of the current legislation. We were very pleased with the results achieved and in 2019 we will keep following the same trend of integrating the two worlds: geo and drones”, he evaluates.
