Co-organized by the China Information Technology Industry Federation, Nanshan District Government and Shenzhen UAV Industry Association, the event is expected to attract more than 50,000 experts, scholars and professional audiences from over 100 countries and regions around the world to attend.

The Third Drone World Congress is themed “Science and Technology Make Life Better.”
