President Yang Jincai pointed out that since the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, UAVs have stood out as effective solutions among the arsenal of tools to combat the virus, fulfilling roles from cameraman to disinfector to transporter. They reduced risk for human beings while allowing for timely, effective countermeasures to be put in place against the virus. Therefore, this year’s DWC will be themed “Pandemic Prevention, Innovative Application, and Safety Supervision,” and demonstrate the innovative features of UAVs/UAS and AI technology used in contamination prevention and in emergency rescue.
In addition to special forums on pandemic prevention and control, this year’s featured topics include precision agriculture, police security, 5G, artificial intelligence, logistics and transportation, marine UAS, and more. The DWC will expect to receive more than 1,000 industry experts, scholars, and entrepreneurs from more than 30 countries and regions. On top of that, over 400 companies domestically and abroad will bring more than 2,000 drones and new technology for display, some of which will be showcased in specially-themed forums or drone racings. With this myriad of events to bring the community together, the DWC intends to effectively highlight the importance of internationalization, specialization, and marketization. In the meantime, the awarding ceremony for “2020’s Top 50 Global UAV Enterprises” and the “Drone Industry Contribution Award” will be held.
