We are a young, international team with different professional backgrounds, and we want to use modern technology to make drones more useful for demanding tasks. Being small, we decide quickly and adjust when requirements change.
Conventional inspection methods often take a lot of time and money, and we want to offer an alternative. At the same time we are building a platform that also suits remote sensing, transport and logistics, and surveillance tasks.
Three of us studied at Technische Universität Berlin, and we are still closely connected to the university. What brings us together is the idea of using new technology to put drones to work on tasks that take a lot of effort today. That idea turned into a team that wants to make it happen together. With funding from the Berliner Startup Stipendium (BSS), we are now turning the concept into a drone and software ready for real missions.
Duravia is three co-founders and one employee from India, Germany and Tunisia. We work closely together with short lines of communication.
