Embention and Eanan Forge a Strategic Alliance for UAE’s Unmanned Aircraft Growth under a Joint Venture with an initial investment of USD 5 million
This Joint Venture intends to manufacture a minimum of 3,000 Veronte Autopilots per annum.
Dubai, UAE – November 21, 2023: In a significant milestone for technological innovation and sustainable air mobility growth in the UAE, Embention, a global leader in avionics with the highest aircraft mobility standards, and EANAN, a leading Dubai-based Urban Air Mobility company, have signed an unprecedented MOU agreement within the framework of the Dubai Airshow 2023.
The signing ceremony, which took place on Thursday, 16th November, at the prestigious Dubai Airshow 2023, marked the official launch of the first unmanned aircraft entirely designed and produced in Dubai.
This agreement covers the manufacturing of Embention’s Veronte Autopilot System in Dubai, the U.A.E, which is the core flight control system for Eanan’s Aircraft & complies with aircraft certification standards. Historic agreement at the Dubai Airshow 2023 for UAM autopilot manufacturing in UAE EANAN proudly presented its S-700, their largest unmanned aircraft with a payload capacity of up to 200 kg, setting a new standard in sustainable air mobility. These aircraft are part of a zero-emission fleet, contributing to Dubai’s vision of becoming a sustainable and intelligent city. The ability to transport heavy loads between cities will boost logistics efficiency, while smaller unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to manage the delivery of packages to customers.
Embention, leaders in autopilots and components for UAV and UAM contribute to the project with more than 16 years of experience in autonomous vehicle control. With an outstanding track record in implementing advanced solutions for unmanned aerial systems, Embention has been instrumental in developing technologies that guarantee aircraft safety and efficiency.
In the signing agreement Ulrich Weckx, CEO of EANAN AL SAMMA, highlighted the importance of the partnership with Embention. ”We are very pleased to partner with Embention in the field of flight control systems. We value safety above all else and believe that partnering with Embention will allow us to achieve the safety objectives of our aircraft.”
“We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with EANAN to develop the first fleet of drones designed and produced in Dubai. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Embention’s expansion in the Middle East, delivering a flight control system made in the UAE,” said David Benavente, CEO of Embention. Launching the first fleet of locally designed and produced drones in Dubai marks an exciting chapter in aviation history. It cements the city’s position as a global leader in advanced aerospace technologies. Embention and EANAN are poised to pioneer the sustainable air mobility revolution.
