DroneX 2026 opens in London with commercial, emergency-service and future-flight tracks

DroneX opened at ExCeL London on 29 September for a two-day event. The organizer lists more than 300 exhibitors and programming across commercial inspection, surveying, delivery, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, emergency services and future flight alongside defence content.

The show provides a current cross-section of what vendors are trying to sell into European and UK drone operations, including batteries, sensors, communications, autonomy and operational software.

Treat exhibition claims as leads for evaluation, not validation. The useful follow-up is to collect exact specifications, certification status, shipping dates and reference customers for products that matter to an active program.
