Bradford has been picked as one of only five cities to test and explore innovative new applications using the very latest drone technology.
Over a third of UK cities bid for a place on the Flying High Challenge, run by Nesta’s Challenge Prize Centre in partnership with Innovate UK.
The challenge is designed to push the technological and regulatory boundaries of high-tech remotely controlled craft.
Bradford Council says it will work with Nesta and local partners to trial new applications in areas such as disaster response, digital health, surveying and community safety.
