Bavarian Mobility Success Story: EmQopter

From its home in Würzburg, Bavaria, the start-up EmQopter developed the first approvable unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in Germany for fully autonomous flights beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). The technology opens up two great opportunities. Firstly, EmQopter drones are ideal for industrial use and could even replace cars as tomorrow's mobility solution of choice. And secondly, they can perform key functions for research and development at universities.  The latter is particularly important to the company's founders. Without Bavaria's R&D infrastructure, they could never have established their business. The idea for EmQopter was born many years ago when Nils Gageik and Paul Benz wrote their doctorates in the only academic department for Aerial Computer Science in Germany – at the Julius Maximilians University in Würzburg.
