Drones are providing new business opportunities

Yep, drones are in the news a lot these days, and they are inspiring young entrepreneurs to develop their own businesses in new and exciting ways.

Take Aonghus Stevens for example… he was just 15 when he got his business ‘off the ground’

The Sydney Morning Herald reports…

“Working from his bedroom and using his student email address, he began to sell drones. The operation grew into a million-dollar business.

The company operates a fleet of 30 drones nationally, gathering information for sectors including agriculture, mining and telecommunications. The drones help farmers count livestock, monitor crops and infrastructure, film prestige real estate and assess damaged buildings for insurers.

According to market research, the global drones market will be worth $US5.59 billion ($7.57 billion) by 2020. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International estimates that, by 2025, the industry will be worth $US82 billion and employing 100,000 people worldwide.”

The opportunities that flying drones will bring in the future for fledgeling businesses is tremendous and it’s exciting to think how new technological advancements in this area will continue to grow.
