Being agile and light on your toes can give a boxer the upper hand. The most mesmerizing fighters appear to float around the ring. In the climate fight, drones are our agile allies, allowing us to see the world from different angles and to reach previously inaccessible areas. From habitat restoration and environmental monitoring to disaster response and emergency infrastructure, drones can help us rapidly and flexibly scale climate change solutions around the world. 

In Round 7 of the Climate Ring, Swissnex is teaming up with the Swiss Business Hub USA to explore the many applications of drone technology in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Hear from Swiss and international experts as they discuss cutting-edge drone solutions to pressing climate challenges. The event will kick off with a keynote by Patrick Meier, founder of the Climate Robotics Network, followed by a fireside chat on regulatory, legal, and research aspects of drone technology and a panel discussion on climate applications.
