SHANGHAI -- Eying China's fast-growing drone industry, Feng Po (馮渤), a Taiwanese industry leader, is seeking opportunities for business cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait with the aim of helping Taiwanese companies to develop and promote their own unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) businesses. The aim of TWUAS is to promote Taiwan's drone industry and lead domestic companies to venture into the Chinese market, Feng said, adding that it will target the commercial drone market. Touching on China's rapidly developing drone industry, Feng said that Shenzhen has become the distribution hub for the drone industry around the globe, given that there are more than 1,000 drone companies in the city. To push ahead Taiwan's drone industry, TWUAS has planned a slew of pilot training sessions and flying contests for university students, Feng said. For instance, a workshop on demand of the drone industry, the first of its kind, was held on May 26, while a training camp for drone venturists will be held biweekly from June through August, according to Feng.
