The event offers the market a fundamentally new approach to interaction between customers and developers: the focus shifts from classic startup presentations to practical demonstrations of solutions to specific business problems.

The coverage of technology areas of the Demo Day includes five key environments for the use of autonomous systems: Air, Earth, Water, Space and Digital.

Format Philosophy The key difference between the “NAS” Association Demo Day is the absence of an abstract jury. The experts and appraisers are exclusively the customers themselves - representatives of the corporate sector and government agencies. Developers are invited not only to talk about their product, but to clearly demonstrate how their technology solves a pressing customer problem (live, on real equipment or in a digital environment). The main goal of the event is to give the customer the opportunity to see a working solution with his own eyes and, as quickly as possible, bypassing unnecessary barriers, move on to substantive negotiations on piloting and industrial implementation.

Key stages of project implementation:

  • Until October 30 - Formation of a pool of tasks. The Association, together with potential customers, accumulates current production and business tasks that require the use of autonomous systems.
  • Until November 9 - Accepting applications. Published tasks are transferred to market participants. Developers and operators select a specialized task and send a detailed description of the proposed solution.
  • Until November 13 - Validation and admission. Customers conduct an independent examination of applications and form a short list of participants who will be admitted to the practical demonstration.
  • November 24—Demo day. In-person demonstration of solutions and direct dialogue between the parties.

The Association invites developers and manufacturers of autonomous systems to take part in the project and demonstrate the effectiveness of their solutions on real problems of large businesses.
