Are you interested in the possibilities of using drones in your business or buying drone services to support your business? Take a short survey on this topic – on average it will only take you 9 minutes to complete the survey.
Drones, or multi-helicopters, have recently become more common, more affordable for those who buy them and there are already services available around them. ÄlyPilot is a project to increase drone-related know-how and innovation capacity of companies in the southern Oulu region of Ylivieska, Nivala-Haapajärvi and Haapaveden-Siikalatva. The project will develop and pilot different use cases for the region and end-users and share information on solutions in the region.
We will conduct a survey to identify the need for drones and drone-based services in rural and small town businesses in the project area. We will produce a compilation of the survey, in which respondents will be anonymised. By answering the survey, you can express your interest in equipment or services – and thus enable a new kind of drone entrepreneurship in the region.
Answering the survey will not automatically get you contacted, but if you have an idea you would like to discuss with us, you can express your wishes in the survey.
