The BCN Drone Days 2025 edition, held on October 8th and 9th, concluded successfully, bringing together over 130 participants from all five continents for two intense days of innovation, discussion, and collaboration within the drone sector. The event solidified its status as a crucial meeting point for professionals seeking to advance the technology and operations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

This year’s conference theme centered on how satellite communications are unlocking new horizons for the drone industry, specifically by enabling safe, efficient, and truly connected BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations. Experts highlighted that this technology is not only redefining drone connectivity but is also laying the groundwork for the next stage of aerial autonomy. Organizers noted that while BVLOS represents the capability, the next step is what we do with it.

In this context, attention turned to Drone Delivery as the immediate future application of these capabilities. The next edition of BCN Drone Days has already been scheduled for June 2026. The thematic focus will shift to Drone Logistics and Delivery, exploring how advancements in connectivity and autonomy will converge to make large-scale drone logistics and delivery operations a global reality.

The success of the event was made possible thanks to the support of key sponsors, including Viasat, Gotonomi, Videosoft Global, Volant Autonomy, AIR6 SYSTEMS | AIRBORNE ROBOTICS, and Skycharge. Additionally, the participation of public institutions essential for the regulation and development of airspace was highlighted, including NATS, ENAIRE, and the European Space Agency - ESA. The organizers extended their heartfelt thanks to all speakers for sharing their expertise and vision, and to the attendees for their curiosity and energy.
