- Budgets! What are common start up costs for training, Certification, choosing the right aircraft and payloads, and setting up a compliant operation (insurance, safety procedures, etc.). What are industry events or associations to consider, and how do you market your drone ‘idea’ effectively?
- Why Indigenous entrepreneurs, joint ventures and leadership are positioned to lead the field if they get people trained, Certified, equipped and prepared to move forward now.
- Contribute to a strategic roadmap to build your community’s capacity to launch new businesses, support more post-secondary students, get dynamic jobs, and consider innovative joint ventures and research projects.
