ITRealms:
The rising search for innovative ways to fight terrorism and shore up revenue for the federal government will be stimulated at the forthcoming CeBIT 2017 tradeshow as the event focuses on drone
technologies and solutions, reports ITRealms.
Country Representative of CeBIT in
Nigeria, Mr. Mkpe Abang, told ITRealms that a special focus is targeted at drone technologies and
solutions as theme of CeBIT 2017 reflected.
“The event presents a huge opportunity for
Nigeria to benefit both in its fight against terrorism and in its quest for
innovative and alternative ways to increase revenue from non-crude oil exports,
especially through the application of Information and Communication
Technologies,” Abang said.
Also, the Managing Board member
at Deutsche Messe, organisers of CeBIT, Mr.
"Almost every day new applications arise for them. But
it is not just a matter of drones: In the future, unmanned systems in general
will be changing the nature of transport on land and sea.”
CeBIT is greatly expanding its drones
showcase next year. “Following its successful premiere last March, CeBIT is now
creating an internationally leading event for drone technologies and solutions
titled ‘Unmanned Systems & Solutions’” stated Frese. “Drones and unmanned
systems on land and sea have a huge business potential, and CeBIT will be
illuminating this potential from every different angle.”
CeBIT holds an advantage in this regard
as the world’s leading event devoted to digitisation, covering a broad range of
products and services. In addition to the ‘Unmanned Systems & Solutions’
topic cluster, CeBIT will be showcasing the solutions that are necessary to
develop and operate unmanned systems as well as future application
opportunities for them, including the Internet of Things, Big Data
applications, Communications and Infrastructure Solutions and Research &
Development.
“The ‘Unmanned Systems & Solutions’
topic cluster will be a visitor magnet again in 2017,” commented Frese, adding
that this year alone some 100,000 visitors displayed an interest in offerings
involving unmanned flying objects.
To create growth opportunities for the
newly expanded topic cluster, ‘Unmanned Systems & Solutions’ is being
staged next year in Hall 17. The expanded CeBIT segment will consist of an exhibition,
a several-day conference program and a flight show. The core focus of the
presentations will be on business applications for the economy, science and
civil society. The relevant application areas extend from logistics and
surveying technology to agriculture and forestry, police and fire prevention,
retailing and medicine.
In designing the new topic cluster,
Deutsche Messe is cooperating with several different partners, including the
German BUVUS association for unmanned systems, which was established as a
network and special interest group for the use of drones and other unmanned
systems in the commercial sphere.
“This cooperation with CeBIT is a great
success for us,” reported Jan Syré, President of BUVUS. “We are delighted to be
working together with CeBIT to create a central European showcase for unmanned
systems.”
In the conference section of “Unmanned
Systems & Solutions”, BUVUS will be discussing the latest legislative
issues – of eminent importance, above all for transport and logistics applications.
A further conference topic will consist of the use of sensory systems. BUVUS
will also be presenting numerous best-practice examples, including from the
areas of construction and real estate, police and fire-fighting and transport
and logistics.
Further cooperation partners consist of
the Taiwan Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Development Association and UAV DACH,
the German-language umbrella association for unmanned aviation in Europe.
CeBIT 2017 will be building on the
phenomenal success of CeBIT 2016, which had the theme ‘diconomy – no limits.’ CeBIT is represented in Nigeria by Mr. Mkpe
Abang, editor-in-chief of IT & Telecom Digest, on behalf of Fairpros,
through who visitors and exhibitors can register for the event.
