Co-creator of Global Air Drone Academy (GADA), Eno Umoh
In the rapidly evolving world of drone technology, one organization stands out for its commitment to education, empowerment, and global impact - the Global Air Drone Academy (GADA). Co-founded by Eno Umoh, GADA is transforming drone education into a global movement.
Eno Umoh, an outspoken advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in emerging tech, is on a mission to provide hands-on drone training, education in aerodynamics, coding, GIS, data analysis, and entrepreneurship to students worldwide. This mission extends to fostering international cooperation and fostering a new generation of drone entrepreneurs in both developed and emerging markets.
GADA's programs, tailored to local needs, are making a difference in various sectors. From agricultural surveying to disaster mapping and infrastructure monitoring, these international programs are addressing real challenges and creating scalable, impactful drone solutions.
Umoh's vision for GADA goes beyond traditional education. He envisions a future where GADA supports national drone academies, policy engagement, and scalable certification pipelines that feed directly into the commercial drone industry. This vision is being realized through hybrid learning platforms that combine remote instruction with live field exercises, reaching rural communities and urban schools alike.
The impact of GADA is evident in its global reach. With over 27,000 people trained worldwide, including governments, agencies, and startups, the academy has built a skilled workforce around drones and their practical applications. This skilled workforce is contributing to economic growth and practical problem-solving, such as waste clean-up and delivery services in challenging environments.
Umoh's work with GADA has also inspired youth engagement. By equipping young people with drone skills, he is opening career pathways and empowering them to address environmental and logistical challenges in their communities. This focus on youth empowerment via education and entrepreneurship is reflected in the academy's various programs, including drone technology camps for middle and high school students, FAA Part 107 prep courses, startup and innovation challenges, and mentorship networks.
GADA's ecosystem includes drone startup incubation, access to open-source mapping tools, hardware training and repair certification, and online communities for peer learning and technical support. This comprehensive approach is amplifying drone adoption and innovation on a global scale, as exemplified by agreements like the African Drone Forum's MOU with the Drone Federation of India.
In summary, the Global Air Drone Academy under Eno Umoh is transforming drone education from a niche interest to an accessible global movement. By empowering young people with technical skills and fostering international cooperation, GADA is creating a future where drone technology is a launchpad for economic development and a catalyst for positive change.
