Preparing the Next Generation of Drone Professionals: FEDS Signs MoU with University of Dubai

Drone technology is only as powerful as the people who operate and innovate with it. That’s why FEDS Drone-powered Solutions has partnered with the University of Dubai to help shape the next generation of Drone talent.

This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed on 1^st July 2025, marks a significant step in advancing drone technology through education, research, and innovation.

What does the Partnership mean?

Through this MoU, FEDS and the University of Dubai will work together on:

• Academic and practical training to prepare students for careers in drone operations and data analysis
• Joint research projects focused on real-world challenges where drone technology can offer smarter solutions
• Internship opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in commercial drone missions
• Knowledge exchange between FEDS experts and the university’s academic staff

For us, this is more than a collaboration; it’s a step towards building a sustainable UAV ecosystem led by well-informed, industry-ready professionals.

Why It Matters

The demand for drone expertise is rising fast, especially across sectors like construction, utilities, and agriculture. But academic programmes often struggle to keep up with the pace of real-world innovation. That’s where partnerships like this one come in.

By combining FEDS’ on-ground experience with the University of Dubai’s academic strengths, students and researchers will have access to:

• Real mission data and technical insights
• Emerging use cases and regulatory know-how
• Mentorship from active industry professionals

Supporting the UAE’s Vision

This initiative also aligns with national goals. The UAE continues to push forward with digital transformation and sustainable development, both of which benefit from advanced UAV technology.
