IDrone (CEO Jeong Dong-il, www.idrone.co.kr), a leader in the domestic drone industry, received an award in the industry category at “VIP ASIA Awards 2015”, hosted by Global News Network AVING News.

Last May, IDrone showcased the “Phantom 3” at “World IT Show 2015”. “Phantom 3” can operate remarkably well even indoors, where GPS does not work the best. It checks its position by using an ultrasonic sensor and can move accurately.

Last July, the company entered into a marketing contract with AVING News. It gave a lecture under the theme of “Girls Meet Drone” at AVING’s studio, introducing new viewpoints of drones.

Furthermore, last October, the company established its position as a leader in the domestic drone industry, receiving the gold prize in the R&D management category at “2015 Korea Economy Leader Awards”, which was hosted by Korea JoongAng Daily and Economist and sponsored by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

“VIP ASIA Awards 2015”, an awards ceremony that recognizes 100 brands that have brought honor to Asia, was held in the Grand Ballroom at Grand Hyatt Hotel on November 25. Two hundred guests, including those from award-winning companies and related officials, participated in the event.

In particular, this year, the event prepared a video documentary to celebrate the 10th anniversary. The documentary received much attention by delivering on the mega-trends of the global market and keen strategy and know-how of advancing into foreign markets, which were gathered by reports worldwide in the past decade.

Furthermore, foreign press in partnership with AVING News visited the event and had interviews with participating companies. After the awards ceremony, they conducted in-depth reports and reported them across the Asian region at “After Press Media Day”.
