The Zurich-based company Voliro AG announces the opening of its first flight center in North America.

The Canadian company, led by CEO Courtland Penk, can now conduct on-site proof-of-concept demos - or proofs of concept - to demonstrate the capabilities of the Voliro T flying robot to investors and inspection service providers.
In addition, the Osprey team will be able to train Voliro T pilots to the highest level. The first internally trained class of Voliro T operators has completed their training, according to Osprey.
