We are excited to share that Gridence has been selected to join the IAS Business Academy accelerator programme, part of the Central Baltic Programme.

This comes at an important moment for us. Our core technology for low-altitude airspace situational awareness is ready, early pilot deployments are operational, and we are actively engaged in discussions with customers and partners. The IAS Business Academy provides exactly the external structure and support needed to move from pilots toward repeatable, scalable international deployments.

Low-altitude airspace solutions must be validated across multiple countries to gain acceptance with regulators, airports, and industry stakeholders. The programme’s cross-border demo projects with real end-users are critical for proving our system in diverse operational environments across Finland, Estonia, and Sweden.

IAS study and trade missions, industry events, and European fairs will play a key role as we expand internationally—opening access to partners and customers that would otherwise take significantly longer to reach.

Airspace awareness and low-altitude safety are shared challenges across the Baltic region. We believe that developing these capabilities collaboratively helps build a shared operational infrastructure that benefits airports, drone operators, and public authorities alike.

We look forward to working closely with the IAS Business Academy team and fellow participants as we take the next steps in scaling Gridence internationally.

👉 If you are, for example, a small airport operator, drone test area developer, public authority, or technology partner interested in low-altitude airspace awareness, feel free to reach out — we would be happy to discuss pilot projects and collaboration opportunities.
