Session Four: Urban Air Mobility |

Given the rapid advancement in the autonomous technology sector, paired with the current market trend in spontaneous disruption of legacy businesses, it is often hard to comprehend what tomorrow's business landscape will look like. No one can predict what tomorrow will bring, but understanding where the envelope is being pushed today can be a great indicator of what sectors to watch and how to “adopt & adapt” in an ever turbulent marketplace. · What are likely future air transportation models? · What are the revenue streams of the next generation of UAS entrepreneurs? · Is industry poised to make a move? Are there honest readiness assessments and industry forecasts that help to reduce risk? · How can you build a strategic plan for 20 years out, when technology rolls forward under far faster timelines? |
