"Japan Drone / Next Generation Air Mobility EXPO in Kyushu (Fukuoka)" is an exhibition aimed at promoting industry using drones. Approximately 50 companies and organizations, including companies and local governments in and outside of Kyushu, exhibited, and panel discussions and lectures on the use of drones were held.
