UAVI Group (UAV Industries and UAV Industries Training) is a company that prides itself to be the leader in the aviation industry with both drone operations and drone pilot training based in South Africa.
The goal of UAV Industries is to increase the use of drones in all industrial operations, either through the supply of operations or via their ROC4Rent service which allows companies to undertake the drone work themselves. It is UAVI’s belief that a drone should be a commercial tool almost as common practice as having a cell phone.
UAV Industries Training is recognised as the leading drone pilot training school in South Africa.
