Airobotics and SkyGo Partner for $3.5M Drone Deal in Abu Dhabi

Airobotics, a leading provider of autonomous drone solutions and a subsidiary of Ondas Holdings, has announced a significant partnership with SkyGo Transport of Goods, a UAE-based company licensed to transport goods via air travel with drones throughout Abu Dhabi. The partnership includes a $3.5 million multi-system purchase order, conditioned by the completion of a proof of concept, and the formation of a joint venture called the SkyGo JV.

The SkyGo JV will utilize Airobotics' state-of-the-art Optimus System to provide data and information services to industrial and governmental entities across Abu Dhabi. The Optimus System, featuring Airobotics' Urban Drone Infrastructure, is designed to operate as a network of smart drones, offering a wide range of services to customers in the region.

Mohammed Al Dhaheri, CEO of SkyGo, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that it will enable SkyGo to offer an extensive array of services using Airobotics' autonomous drone platform. The collaboration between the two companies will combine SkyGo's innovative business model and local knowledge with Airobotics' technical expertise, creating a powerful partnership in the drone services market.

The companies plan to deploy more than 20 systems across Abu Dhabi over the next few years, with the initial commercial customer deployment by SkyGo JV expected in the first quarter of 2023. This strategic partnership was developed and advanced by DoverTower DMCC, a UAE company specializing in large-scale tech partnerships in the country and the region.

Meir Kliner, Founder and CEO of Airobotics, shared his excitement about working with SkyGo's visionary leadership to deploy valuable drone services to critical infrastructure, logistics, and government customers across Abu Dhabi. He believes that the smart city drone services go-to-market model with SkyGo in Abu Dhabi will be scalable in many markets worldwide, providing a wide variety of smart cities data solutions in urban environments.

Ondas Holdings, the parent company of Airobotics, recently announced plans to accelerate its integration plan for its drone segment, which includes American Robotics, ahead of the close of its acquisition of the company. The integration plan for American Robotics and Airobotics includes developing a streamlined product roadmap strategy and customer support plans, as well as a reduction of personnel at American Robotics.

With the drone industry experiencing rapid growth, this partnership between Airobotics and SkyGo presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking robot jobs or looking to hire a robot worker in the field of autonomous drone services. As more companies embrace the potential of drones for various applications, the demand for skilled robot workers is expected to rise, making this an exciting time for the industry.
