Nordic states launch joint drone development initiative Nordic Drone Initiative backed by 16 public and privately owned organisations in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark to probe the efficient use of airspace for drones Share this item with your network: Published: 11 Feb 2021 11:20 Four Nordic states have joined forces in a far-reaching joint initiative to drive the development of drone transports for goods and passengers. The Nordic Drone Initiative (NDI) will probe the efficient use of airspace for drones. It will help accelerate the introduction of drone-based mobility, including their deployment as air-taxis and for autonomous courier services. The shared objective in the inter-state NDI will lead to a pooling of capabilities and resources to develop sustainable drone-based transport services across the Nordic region.
