Aidoptation – Launch Event

In short

In the coming weeks, Aidoptation will officially establish its global headquarters at DronePort in Sint-Truiden. To celebrate this milestone, we are hosting an official presentation event on February 15, 2025, for a select group of (inter)national stakeholders and press.

What is Aidoptation?

The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) is an American competition where AI-driven robotic cars race at high speeds on iconic circuits. This extreme testing environment fosters groundbreaking innovations that find applications across various sectors, from mobility to logistics.

Aidoptation is a new spin-off from the IAC, focused on the commercialization of these proven autonomous systems. Building on technologies that have demonstrated their value in competitive environments, Aidoptation is poised for a global rollout, with DronePort serving as its strategic base.

What to expect

This event is tailored for policymakers, investors, researchers, universities, and tech companies interested in the latest developments in autonomous mobility. You will gain exclusive insights into groundbreaking technologies, Aidoptation’s commercial strategy, and DronePort’s vision for CO2-free and autonomous mobility.

In addition to inspiring presentations, a panel discussion, and a demonstration, the event offers opportunities for networking and exploring collaboration potential.
