The Hague to Host Second TUSExpo for UAS

From 2 – 4 February 2016, The Hague will host the second edition of the European trade fair "The Unmanned Systems Expo (TUSExpo)" at the city’s World Forum. TUSExpo is aimed at the growing market for unmanned systems such as drones and will feature both commercial and civil applications in areas including security, agriculture, industry, science, entertainment and environmental protection. The exposition is expected to attract 2,500 international visitors.

The TUSExpo business platform will include a conference, trade exhibition and matchmaking programme. During the conference, international experts from the business world, science and government will speak about the latest technologies and their applications as well as relevant legal issues. The trade exhibition and ‘live demonstration zone’ will allow visitors to experience the possibilities offered by unmanned systems. There will also be a university zone and a dedicated pavilion for innovative start-ups.

With more than 1,500 visitors and 75 journalists covering the trade fair, the first edition of TUSExpo in February 2015 was a great success. Organisers Anoeska Hagenstein, Martijn van Dijk, and Niels Westendorp  enjoyed the support of the Municipality of The Hague and InnovationQuarter, with security cluster "The Hague Security Delta" playing an important role. These organisations recognise the importance of the unmanned systems industry, which is developing rapidly nationally and on an international level.
