Just before the event! "DRONE EXPO 2022 in Aichi" - First in Japan! This is the near future where drones fly around.

PRODRONE contract pilot Hiroki Ito, the absolute champion who has won the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) F3C RC Helicopter World Championship six times, will participate in "DRONE EXPO 2022 in Aichi"! We will show you the world's best aerobatic flight and FAI F3C performance. On the day of the event, PRODRONE employee pilot Shinya Kunii (leader of the Japanese team at the 2019 World Championships) will also be participating, exciting the venue with a spectacular rendezvous flight.

1.Purpose of this EXPOProdrone Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, President and CEO: Shunsuke Totani) will hold the event "DRONE EXPO 2022 in Aichi (hereinafter referred to as this EXPO)" from July 5th to 6th, 2022 at Fujioka Heliport in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, where you can experience the drone-based society.





Level 4 flight beyond visual range in manned areas is scheduled to be lifted this year, and a ``drone-based society'' is finally upon us. Furthermore, drone logistics in mountainous areas and remote islands is an important measure within the ``digital garden city-state'' concept, which is the framework of new capitalism. The importance of using drones during disasters is also pointed out in the National Resilience Plan, which aims to make Japan a strong and resilient country. Under these circumstances, we will take a look at a ``drone-based society'' in which drones actually fly. At the same time, we hope that through this EXPO, the social acceptance of drones will increase.
On July 5th, we are planning Japan's first event centered on drone flight, including a keynote speech by Kotaro Chiba, co-founder/representative partner of DRONE FUND, which is leading the way in a drone-based society, a presentation by Masafumi Hirono, president and representative director of KDDI Smart Drone Corporation, and demo flights from exhibitors. Please come and experience the drone-based society for yourself at this EXPO.
