Innovation for defence - Inno4def is organising The Battlefield of Things 2: Drones Hackathon.

This is a two-and-a-half-day innovation event that will bring Belgium Defence personnel together with industry experts, drone enthusiasts, researchers, and students.

Together, participants will push the boundaries of UAS technology. They will also look at the business side of growing the drone ecosystem in Belgium.

For both experienced professionals and passionate newcomers, this event is a unique opportunity to work on drone hardware and software, to tackle real-world challenges proposed by Belgian Defence, to build network across the drone ecosystem, and shape the future of drone technology.

The Battlefield of Things 2: Drones hackathon revolves around three key challenges: Technology Innovation, Ecosystem Innovation, and Procurement Innovation. Each challenge includes specific problems identified through workshops with Belgian Defence and industry experts, ensuring real-world impact.

Success will require expertise, creativity, and strategic thinking.

Battlefield of Things 2: Drones is open to anyone passionate about UAS technology. It will welcome Belgian Defence personnel, manufacturers, developers, and supply chain specialists, engineering and technology students, and drone hobbyists (pilots and makers).

If you’ve got the skills in AI, robotics, and material science – bring them!
