SUMMARY:HRIC Tech Tuesday - UAV and DroneUp
DESCRIPTION:Tech Tuesdays are a series of 1-hour on-line sessions on a variety of technology and business activities taking place in Hampton Roads\, VA.\n\n\nThe next event coming up will be: \nSession 20: UAV and DroneUp \nJune 21\, 2022 – 12-1:00p EST \nSpeaker: Tom Walker – DroneUp \nhttps://www.droneup.com/ \nIn modern times\, drones seem to be on everybody’s mind. From the military use of drones overseas to services that deliver domestic packages with drones\, these flying machines have proven their worth. However\, many people are still confused by drones and their purpose.  A commercial drone is a quadcopter\, octocopter\, hexacopter\, or other multi-rotor craft that is used for commercial purposes rather than personal or recreational use. \nDroneUp (founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Virginia Beach\, VA) is an American technology company that combines airspace solutions\, software applications\, analytics platforms\, and a trusted team of industry leaders to help companies operate at scale with drone innovation \nIn 2021\, DroneUp received a significant investment from the #1 retailer in the world\, Walmart\, Inc. \nAttend this session to learn about how DroneUp has captured some of the delivery space for Walmart\, as well as various public services across the country. \nEventbrite Registration at: https://TechTuesDroneUp.eventbrite.com \nZoom log-in details will be emailed out to registrants in advance of the session.  \nTo learn more about HRIC and its programs\, visit our website at: https://hrinnovationcollaborative.com/ and benefits of membership at: https://technologyhamptonroads.com/why-join/.

The primary objectives of Healthier757 and Rewards for Healthy Living are to: \n1)	establish Hampton Roads as one of the most health literate regions in the nation \n2)	increase community-wide awareness and knowledge of key health issues  \n3)	increase health equity by eliminating health disparities and addressing social determinants of health \n4)	promote economic development in our region through a healthier and more productive workforce \nDuring this session\, you will learn how Healthier757 and Rewards for Healthy Living can significantly bolster our existing public health capabilities\, serve as a critical differentiator for our region\, and address regionalization challenges by connecting the Hampton Roads municipalities\, aligning the collective efforts of each city around a common health and wellness strategy\, and promoting consistent and targeted educational initiatives in a coordinated approach.
