On Monday 29 April at 7pm, the Kennedy bar (Largo San Benedetto – Valenzano) hosts “Aerospace research becomes a startup”. The meeting talks about the best practice of the Apulian startup Flying DEMon, a company specialized in what is now an emerging area of the regional and international economy.
Astrophysics research is transformed from an object of academic study into a business opportunity. The startup deals in particular with monitoring natural radioactivity using drones equipped with radiation detectors. Flying DEMon uses spectroscopic dosimetric techniques using a UAS drone to create maps of agricultural land and study the uniformity of composition, such as for potassium, and soil hydration.
Speakers:
- Serena Loporchio – Physics Researcher, Chief Operating Officer Flying DEMon
- Leonardo Di Venere – Physics Researcher, Chief Financial Officer Flying DEMon
The meeting will be moderated by Mario Gilberti, activist of the Lucidafollia association
