Last week the regional authorities of Catalonia (Spain), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the CEO of the Barcelona Drone Center, signed an agreement that will turn this space into the operational base for all the drone companies incubated by the ESA.
In other words, any startup or company that has the interest and validation of the Europe’s equivalent of NASA will be able to use those facilities for aerial unmanned operations, tests and research.
This is a big step for many small companies developing interesting drone technologies, since they will have a dedicated UAV test site guaranteeing all the necessary technical and safety conditions. In such way, it will be easier and faster to jump from disruptive ideas to actual businesses.
