Drone-a-thon: Propelling Sustainability: Virtual Hackathon on DESIGN-SIMULATE-EXPERIENCE with 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

About : Drones are used for numerous purposes ranging from military to rescue operation to surveying and delivering goods. Adoption of Drone / UAV is increasing in India and it is projected that the value of industry and market would be around US\\\$ 885.7 million, while the global market size will touch US\\\$ 21.47 billion by 2021.There have been a number of Indian Governmental Agencies and PSUs that have piloted and even scaled up operations of drones including startups in the likes of General Aeronautics (Dassault Systemes customer)

‘Drone-a-thon: Propelling Sustainability’ is a Design- Simulate- Experience 10 days challenge that inspires Young Minds to be the future innovators and future entrepreneurs in UAV \\ Drone sector. This  hackathon is in collaboration with 3DEXPERIENCE Lab and DFI , will boost participants' innovation capabilities, help them develop more indigenous creative solutions for drone design and manufacturing and create the conditions for remarkable talents to stand out all designed using 3DEXPERIENCE Platform on the cloud.
