As Microdrones continues to grow and expand into new countries and markets, we find ourselves employing some of the top professionals in the business. Such is the case with Dominik Wojcik, who was recently hired as the Microdrones Eastern European Sales Manager. Based in Warsaw, Poland, Dominik will focus on a large portion of Eastern Europe including Poland, the Baltic States, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.

When it comes to flying drones in Eastern Europe, countries have many different and varied regulations as to who, where, and how a drone may be operated. Fortunately for Dominik, Poland is ahead of the curve. “In 2016, Poland already had over 4,000 drone operators, which was the third highest in the world after Japan and the United States,” explains Wojcik. “In fact, since 2016 that number has tripled to over 12,000 operators. Getting a license isn’t easy. You need to pass a National exam. But as the number of operators continue to grow, the number of drone services also expands. We are already talking about BVLOS laws, a corridor for autonomous flight and those changes are coming to the market.”

Beyond Poland, Dominik sees abundant opportunities throughout Eastern Europe to put Microdrones to work. Wojcik explains, “The eastern part of Europe is way behind in infrastructure, especially when it comes to roads compared to Western Europe. So basically, it's one big construction site, and our products are suited for helping with this." The challenge is keeping current with the various restrictions and laws from country to country.
