One-liner: real-environment drone / UAV flight validation coordinated by the Espai Aero CV aerospace cluster — including U-space tests at the Port of València. A rare, coordinated aerospace/drone testbed for hardware startups that can't easily get airspace and permits alone.
What you get
- Real-environment UAV/drone flight testing and aerospace test coordination — access to test areas, airspace permissions and U-space (unmanned-traffic-management) trials, including at the Port of València.
- Help navigating AESA/EASA regulatory requirements and connecting with the aerospace/drone value chain and integrators.
- Cluster-driven partner matching (integrators, corporates, public bodies) for pilots.
Who it's for
- Drone/UAV, advanced air mobility, sensor and aerospace hardware startups needing to validate flight in real, permitted environments.
How to engage
- Contact the Espai Aero CV cluster (espaiaerocv.es) to scope a flight-test / U-space trial (project basis).
- Coordinate airspace/permits and run the test; pair with the Valencia Urban Sandbox for urban trials and the planned Defense Tech Accelerator (dual-use).
- Fund it via INPYME 2026 (aerospace is a target sector) / IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 and cluster grants.
Key facts
- Real UAV flight testing + U-space at the Port of València, via the aerospace cluster. The regional drone/aerospace validation route.
