for Dubai Future Foundation

The award was launched at the UAE Government Summit 2014. The first 2015 award was contested by more than 800 entries from 57 countries including MIT's 'Waterfly' collaborative drone 'swarms'. The finalists included Spanish company CATUAV for a drone fitted with optical sensors to scan war-affected regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina for landmines buried during the 1990s. The eventual winner was Swiss group Flyability with a search and rescue Gimball drone. The 2016 competition awarded Loon Copter's sea-hybrid UAV in February 2017.

It was the first event in the region to have introduced ideas and concepts of launch pads, pits and garages to a drone and robotics platform. With health and safety at an all time high, the design of the platform was to look into bringing people closer to the action whilst still keeping them safe. The event continue to remain a success for all future versions.
