Amsterdam Drone Week – ADW 2026: Euro Drone Event 2026

Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW 2026) has emerged as one of Europe’s most forward-looking platforms, tackling the convergence of drone technologies with next-generation air mobility. Far more than a typical trade show, the event brings together thought leaders and technical innovators to explore how unmanned aircraft systems and eVTOL technologies fit into future airspace and urban mobility ecosystems.
Why this event matters
ADW matters because it aims to shape not only how drones fly but where they fly and how they interact with other mobility networks. With “Synergy in the Skies” as its guiding theme, the event pushes discussions on digital infrastructure and regulatory harmonisation topics central to scaling drone operations across European and global urban environments.
Who should attend
The programme is built for regulators and policymakers seeking coordinated frameworks, corporate innovators developing scalable UAS solutions, mobility planners envisioning integrated transport systems, and investors watching for strategic mobility tech trends.
Core themes
- Digital airspace infrastructure
- Urban air mobility planning
- eVTOL and UAS innovations
- Regulatory frameworks and global standards
- Integration of air mobility in cities and regions
- Cross-industry collaboration models
EU drone ecosystem relevance
Amsterdam Drone Week intersects directly with Europe’s ongoing efforts to harmonise air mobility services and integrate uncrewed systems into broader transport infrastructures. Its focus on both regulation and technology makes it a valuable complement to policy-driven events like the European Drone Forum and Airspace World 2026, fostering a more holistic view of mobility beyond traditional UAV use cases.
Business & networking value
With participants ranging from global technology providers to national regulators and city planners, ADW offers high-level networking that can influence strategic partnerships, procurement decisions, and collaborative frameworks, especially for organisations navigating multi-jurisdictional airspace and mobility challenges.
