Advancing UXO Detection through Drone Innovation At Dropla Tech ApS, we believe that sensor fusion and AI hold immense potential to transform the detection and removal of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Developing autonomous drone systems that integrate the latest: • Multispectral sensors to rapidly scan the land and precisely locate UXO underground • Machine learning algorithms that fuse data from multiple layers to identify anomalies indicating potential explosive hazards • High-resolution 3D mapping capabilities to generate high-precision georeferenced maps marking UXO hotspots and safe zones to guide safe and efficient removal Latest data cleaning and processing techniques enable our drones to cover territory much faster - making surveys up to 10x more efficient. We realize true impact requires more than technology alone. Thats why Dropla researchers: • Collaborate closely with demining groups to ensure our drone solutions meet real-world needs • Contribute data and insights back to the community through open dataset initiatives that advance the broader UXO detection field Our true north will always be the same: to harness technological progress for good by helping rid conflict zones of unexploded threats and giving communities an opportunity to rebuild. #WeAreDropla

Running a workplace can be crazy. No matter if you’re an experienced office manager or the one roped into the job at the last minute because the office manager is off sick/it’s not a big office/or huh we kind of forgot we needed someone to do everything like that. You’re an octopus. You’re a problem solver. You’re everyone’s mum. You’ve got to find the right company to do lunch, fix the toilet and assemble the news desks. And then get quotes. Then figure out if they’re any good. And oh look it’s Easter everyone needs an Easter egg and don’t forget Lise is leaving so needs flowers and those five new people are starting on Monday and what the lunch wasn’t any good and HELP! That’s why we created Good Monday. An intuitive platform that gives everyone control of their office. We’re the leading workspace management platform in London and Copenhagen, created in the belief that all companies deserve the best services powered by local providers, with all communication, planning, quoting and invoicing made simple and easy. You get a marketplace full of vetted suppliers, quotes, invoices, top-notch customer care (with actual humans), and a clear overview of everything going on, all in one place. You save time and money, and your fellow colleagues get the creature comforts they deserve whenever they're in the office. Get the flexibility you need to run the workplace of the 21st century, and give whoever’s in charge of running the office, time to actually run the office. It's a no-brainer, right?

We want to democratise the power of money and change the way we all bank, pay and invest. We’re a bank, a financial technology company, a wealth management platform, a payment solution, an investment toolbox, a business accelerator. But we are not an organisation that defines itself by labels. We are defined by what we can do for our customers. In other words, we don’t try to make our customers fit in boxes. We build our services around them. We believe that you deserve more power from your money.
