Gyeonggi Province will hold the "2nd 2023 Drone Competition" on the 12th at Yongin Mir Stadium for public officials from Gyeonggi Province and 31 cities and counties.

This competition, hosted by Gyeonggi Province, was planned to enhance the expertise of drone-dedicated public officials within the province.

A total of 16 local government representative teams, including 2 departments from the provincial government and 14 cities and counties, will participate to compete in drone piloting skills.

Based on these, participants' piloting skills will be fairly evaluated. Various programs such as demonstrations of drones equipped with new technologies, unmanned helicopters, and drone racing will also be prepared.

In last year's competition, 16 teams with a total of 44 drone-dedicated public officials participated, and Ansan City won the grand prize.

Yoon Jin-hoon, head of the Spatial Information Drone Team of Gyeonggi Province, said, "It will be a good communication platform for drone-dedicated public officials within Gyeonggi Province," adding, "We expect the drone competition to greatly contribute to expanding the technological base of drone operation in Gyeonggi Province and fostering professional personnel."
