OUR STAKEHOLDERS
A NEW ERA FOR UK DRONE SPORT
At Drone Sport UK, we are committed to developing a world-class, inclusive, and future-focused drone racing ecosystem. Our stakeholder model reflects the broad and diverse network of partners required to deliver impactful, safe, and professionally organised national and international racing events.
The Stakeholder Map highlights the five key groups who shape and support our mission.
Strategic & Institutional
We work in alignment with national agencies, defence stakeholders, and educational partners to ensure regulatory compliance, talent development, and access to public resources. This includes bodies such as the UK Civil Aviation Authority, the British Armed Forces, STEM education providers, and national sport institutions.
Sport & Competition
Drone Sport UK collaborates with independent racing clubs, national leagues, and global technical advisers to ensure our events follow high-performance standards while remaining adaptable. Our structure is designed to complement — not compete with — existing international federations.
Industry & Innovation
We engage with drone manufacturers, FPV system developers, and media technology partners to integrate cutting-edge tools that enhance racing quality, pilot experience, and broadcast value.
Commercial & Marketing
From headline sponsors to creative agencies and venue partners, we collaborate with a range of commercial stakeholders to build brand equity, increase visibility, and ensure the commercial success of the sport.
Community & Participants
At the heart of everything we do are the pilots, volunteers, students, and families who power the sport at a grassroots level. We are committed to inclusive access, youth development, and building a vibrant drone racing culture across the UK and beyond.
