week, some of the world's most forward-thinking leaders and brightest minds
convened at DRIFTx in Abu Dhabi, unlocking extremely important and high-level

discussions that are sure to shape the way people and goods are transported,
with advanced solutions that will be operational much sooner than anyone
expected. Across the two days, we had an impressive speaker lineup, unique
exhibitions, and very exciting live demonstrations, truly displaying what the future
of urban air, land, and sea mobility is going to be like. We're already looking
forward to building on the energy and amazing vibe we witnessed this week to
inspire another round of real-world breakthroughs at DRIFTx 2025."
