Israel to Host Premier Drone Systems Event — UVID Dronetech 2025 Comes to Tel Aviv on 26 November
UVID Dronetech 2025 returns to Tel Aviv on 26 November, gathering defence officials, technology developers, startups and industry partners for one of the world’s most influential unmanned-systems events.
The 13th edition of the leading unmanned systems gathering, UVID Dronetech 2025, will take place on 26 November 2025 at Expo Tel Aviv. The event is positioned as one of the world’s largest and most influential forums for UAVs, UAS, and drone-based applications across both defence and civilian sectors.
A Global Drone Ecosystem Event
The organizers describe UVID Dronetech as the most significant and prestigious drone-industry event in Israel and one of the largest globally. This year’s central theme — “Drones at the Edge of a New Strategic Era” — reflects the rapidly expanding role of autonomous systems in modern conflict, infrastructure, industry, and commercial operations.
What Attendees Can Expect
- Representation from governments, defence ministries, military entities, industry leaders, and investors.
- Participation from hundreds of companies — ranging from startups to established defence manufacturers.
- Keynotes, panels, technical sessions and product showcases covering:
- AI-enabled autonomy
- Counter-UAS systems
- Swarming and tactical applications
- Regulatory frameworks
- Civilian drone deployment in agriculture, logistics, policing, and emergency services
Earlier editions of UVID have attracted tens of thousands of participants from around the world, and the 2025 event is expected to exceed prior attendance.
Strategic Importance
Unmanned platforms are quickly becoming operational necessities for armed forces, border agencies, law enforcement, and national emergency services. At the same time, commercial opportunities are accelerating in sectors like mapping, surveying, industrial inspection, and deliveries. UVID 2025 is designed to bring these worlds together — military and civilian — under one roof.
Additional Program Components
A follow-up summit in Yeruham is scheduled for 30 November, offering extended discussion formats and select closed-door sessions focused on investment, regulation, and joint technology development.
Summary
UVID Dronetech 2025 is a cornerstone event for anyone operating in the unmanned-systems ecosystem. The convergence of defense experts, aerospace engineers, AI researchers, hardware manufacturers, and government decision-makers makes it a principal hub for insight, networking, and strategic positioning in the rapidly advancing world of drone technology.
