NextGenerationMobility Forum Highlights Drone Safety: Innovative Technology Requires a Stronger Regulatory Framework
At the NextGenerationMobility event hosted by the German Transport Forum (DVF), Droniq showcased its MyZone Detection drone detection and alert system, emphasizing that modern security concepts must expand from two-dimensional to three-dimensional airspace. Participants noted that technical solutions are mature, but the primary barriers remain incomplete regulatory and structural frameworks, calling for stronger collaboration between industry, government, and academia.
Highlights
- The DVF NextGenerationMobility forum in Germany brought together industry, academia, and government stakeholders to discuss barriers preventing innovative mobility technologies from reaching the market.
- Droniq's Alexander Tummes pitched MyZone Detection, a drone early-warning system that detects aircraft in protected zones and issues automatic alerts, even when drones are not broadcasting position signals.
- Forum participants identified regulatory and structural frameworks — not technical readiness — as the primary bottleneck slowing drone innovation deployment in Germany.
- MyZone Detection supports the construction of a comprehensive digital airspace situational awareness picture, reflecting the industry shift toward three-dimensional security thinking.
- Stakeholders called for strengthened cross-sector collaboration between industry, policy, and academia to accelerate the commercialization of mature drone safety technologies.
Why Innovative Drone Technology Needs a Stronger Regulatory Framework
The NextGenerationMobility event hosted by the Deutsches Verkehrsforum (DVF — German Transport Forum) clearly demonstrated the enormous potential of emerging technologies in the future of mobility. At the same time, discussions on the floor revealed a persistent reality: the path from concept to real-world application remains far too slow.
Cross-Sector Exchange Between Industry, Academia, and Policy
The event brought together corporate representatives, startups, students, and stakeholders from academia and government, with a focus on innovation pitches and interdisciplinary dialogue — precisely the ingredients needed to accelerate the deployment of new technologies.
A standout moment was the evening roundtable discussion, where policymakers and industry representatives jointly examined existing barriers with the goal of developing concrete strategies to help innovations reach the German market more quickly.
Redefining Drone Safety
During the pitch session, Alexander Tummes of Droniq presented MyZone Detection — a high-performance drone detection, alert, and early-warning system.
The core challenge: Traditional security concepts focus primarily on ground-level threats, yet risks are increasingly coming from the air.
MyZone Detection is designed specifically to address this gap. Key capabilities include:
- Early-warning drone detection in sensitive or protected zones
- Automatic alerts when a drone enters a designated area
- Operation regardless of whether the drone is actively broadcasting its position
- Support for building a comprehensive digital airspace situational awareness picture
This solution illustrates a clear industry trend: modern security thinking must be three-dimensional — covering not just the horizontal plane, but the vertical dimension as well.
From Innovation to Real-World Deployment
The projects showcased at the event demonstrated that many innovative solutions have already reached a high level of maturity — and the unmanned aviation sector is no exception.
However, discussions consistently reinforced the following reality:
- Technical solutions are available
- Market demand is clearly identifiable
- The primary obstacles tend to lie at the regulatory and structural framework level
This is especially critical in safety-relevant use cases, where rapidly translating innovation into operational deployment is paramount.
Conclusion: Shaping the Future Requires Stronger Collaboration
NextGenerationMobility once again underscored the importance of platforms that bring industry, academia, and policy together. Only when all stakeholders work in concert can innovation be effectively translated into real-world application — and actively shape the future of mobility.
