DroneTech World Meeting returns to Toruń for its 10th edition from 28 to 30 October 2025, bringing together the full spectrum of Europe’s unmanned systems ecosystem. Over the past decade, the event has evolved from a local forum into one of the region’s most dynamic platforms for innovation, policy, and collaboration. It blends conference discussions, an exhibition of the latest drone technologies, field demonstrations, and structured matchmaking between businesses, investors, and institutions.
A key feature this year is DroneMageddon, the Unmanned Technology Demonstrator where participants will test drones in real-world crisis conditions alongside Poland’s uniformed services. This live scenario illustrates how unmanned systems can enhance emergency response, border security, and infrastructure protection. By placing technology in operational environments rather than exhibition halls, the event highlights a broader European shift toward practical, mission-driven integration of drones into security and civil systems.
DroneTech remains a meeting point for engineers, researchers, startups, and thought leaders — a community that has gathered for ten years to share experiences, showcase achievements, and inspire new projects. It is also a bridge between civilian innovators and defense planners, reflecting how Europe’s drone market is increasingly dual-use by design.
Organizers emphasize that DroneTech is not just about hardware or algorithms but about how technology serves people. Through its presentations, discussions, and cooperative testing, the event promotes a vision of unmanned and autonomous systems that enhance human capability and resilience. As the motto suggests, technology is not the goal — it is the tool, and the human remains at the center.
