Creating the ecosystem for the UAV and eVTOL market
Brussels, 24th of March, 2022. The Alliance for New Mobility Europe (AME) is an organisation for all stakeholders connecting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), their related services and electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft (eVTOLs) with the necessary air and ground infrastructures. A complementary set of leading companies has come together to implement a vision: to create a New Mobility community enabling these complex integration processes. The focus is in particular on the integration with cities (Urban Air Mobility), ports and industrial sites.
“AME is a European-driven alliance involved at EU-level in all relevant bodies and working groups across Europe”, explains Jan-Eric Putze, Board President of AME. “We accompany EU rule-making for UAVs in all its steps, and we pay attention to the emergence of a viable market for UAVs, their services and eVTOLs. Also, we put substantial efforts into bringing individual communities together and instigate the necessary work on standardisation and harmonisation to connect and integrate the different stakeholder groups and sectors with the goal to create a functioning ecosystem and market.”
AME is a founding member of SESAR3 where the alliance sees a great opportunity to work further on its goals and ambitions. AME is called “alliance” to underline its ambition to connect, bring together and foster exchange. In this context, it is developing a number of partnerships with likeminded organisations in Europe. It also stands for technologically neutral, performance-based rules that give room for the dynamism of the sector and allow SMEs the manoeuvring room they need to thrive: it promotes solutions for the sector, not individual business models.
While AME supports all efforts to create a complete set of rules and standards for a European Drone Market incl. eVTOLs, it pays utmost attention to security and safety: There will be no sustainable market if not all elements of the overall architecture fulfil the safety levels that society is used to in Europe. AME also acknowledges the strong need to develop the cyber security of any such devices.

DragonFlyPads activity Build and operate the first network of connected landing platforms and „service stations“ (Vertipads) for drone operators. DragonFlyPads stands out from the many classic drone players by positioning itself not on services, machines, software or equipment but on the response to the universal need for infrastructure by setting up a network of ultra-connected and secure Vertipads. These infrastructures, which are an essential element in the development of drone activities, have been forgotten, but as with telecoms, road or air transport are an essential point of passage.

The Edge company is a startup born on the idea of using new technologies combined with experience to eradicate the phenomenon of birdstrike. The Edge Company has thus developed a bird & drone detection system for airports. A system capable of identifying birds, recognizing the species, knowing where they are within the area, counting them by performing very precise monitoring. As the birds BCMS VENTUR also detects drones, and can be used for urban air mobility in voloports and urban areas because it is free of harmful emissions, being based on artificial intelligence. In addition to this the Edge Company is developing an airborne system that can identify obstacles from an object in flight, the VenturX system.
