Airwards is a platform which makes real the concept of an ecosystem in the “drones to droids” space.
Infrastructure, people, systems and ideas to support businesses in the near earth atmosphere, which we call the Stenosphere.

From origins in drones (arguably the most complex form of robotic and AI application in the real world) the platform also supports transition through AI and autonomy on paths towards the future of android level human form robots.

The platform facilitates:

  • Innovation and knowledge development via the awards element’s extensive use case expertise and C-level network.

  • Promotion and face-to-face networking through the Stenoshpere events element.

  • Direct access B2B and person to person through a community database of signed up market participants.

  • The ability to frame, deliver and support marketing events such as dinners and technology specific events.

  • The ability to leverage a business ecosystem of B2B players for collaboration or partnership.

  • The ability to support innovation and AI application through a knowledge base and innovation hub, a home for creative work providing market exposure for new ideas.

  • The ability to sell through the Airwards shop and promote technology sales through accredited supplier or affiliate firm mechanisms, a discount scheme, and model package offers.

  • The ability to support media and press through facilities for blogs and a range of other communications resources.

  • A charitable foundation route to complement ESG strategies.

Our vision is to have drones recognised for leading the way in every industry.
