Defence Summit: Drones & Aerospace is an invite-only leadership conference at Zeppelin University’s ZF Campus in Friedrichshafen, uniting industry, startups, investors, military, research, and policy to shape Europe’s defence-innovation ecosystem. Across keynotes, curated panels, and an Innovation & Industry Expo, we address drone warfare’s strategic, technical, and societal implications— from critical-infrastructure protection to dual-use breakthroughs and accelerated innovation cycles. The campus venue offers a striking forum designed for dialogue and deal-making; a student-led team curates participants to ensure high-quality debates and meaningful interactions. With first-class media partnership for live and post-event coverage, partners gain prominent branding, stage presence, and tailored expo formats.
