Who we are

A regional hub for the low altitude economy

Drones have become premier tools for earth and environmental observations, photography and videography, with applications in agriculture, natural resource management, coastal and marine environmental management, security, infrastructure and logistics management, and urban and municipal services.

The Caribbean Drone Hub (CDH) is a regional platform for networking and sharing information, products and services on the safe and legal use of drone technology for sustainable and resilient development in the Caribbean. It brings together entrepreneurs, businesses, enthusiasts, academia, industry, government and non-governmental organisations working in the drone sector to create an enabling environment for the low altitude economy (LAE) in the Caribbean.

The LAE covers a wide range of economic and livelihood activities in the airspace up to 1000 metres above the earth’s surface; how high a drone may fly is set by each territory’s rules. Through research, training and education, applications, advocacy, policy and regulatory recommendations, and outreach, the CDH works with partners and stakeholders to provide institutional leadership in formalising the landscape for safer and legal drone operations, in support of the low altitude economy and sustainable, resilient development in the Caribbean.
