Deployment Pathways Advanced Air Mobility 2025

Example 3: Agritech – AgGateway –Challenge: Farmers and agritech providers were facing fragmented data standards, making it hard to integrate tools and limiting market access for SMEs –Approach: Coordinated members to jointly create open data exchange standards for agriculture –Impact: Improved industry-wide improvements in cost efficiency, inventory traceability and operational interoperability across tools; also resulted in the release of a unified, syntactic open-data standard created collaboratively by multiple stakeholders that facilitates smoother data integration across platforms These collaboration models demonstrate that competitors can share non-sensitive, anonymized insights under clear governance to raise baseline performance without eroding competitive advantage. Like offshore wind, AAM is at an early stage but scaling quickly, and many players resemble cleantech start-ups – small, resource- constrained and in need of visibility. Like GUTMA and AgGateway, the sector will require shared operational frameworks and interoperability to achieve growth. Sources: GUTMA,22 ORE,23 AgGateway24 Building on these insights, Figure 3 proposes a shared model for a neutral, structured collaboration model that connects service providers, operators and contractors in the AAM field in order to: –Share non-sensitive, anonymized, aggregated insights and generic operational templates –Signal current and emerging operational needs –Access and contribute to a shared knowledge base of templates, tools and methodologies AAM collaboration model: A neutral platform linking providers, operators and contractors to share best practices and spearhead innovationFIGURE 3 Exchange knowledge and best practices – Design and supply the systems enabling operations and licensed entities that operate drone systems – Share and borrow drones, tools and locations – Coordinate resource use transparently and efficientlyOEMs and operators – Fly drones and execute operations – List their certification, skills and availability – Get offers from operators or service providersContractors– Deliver drone-enabled services or applications – Post requests for proposal and receive offers from interested operators/contractors – Share project needs and challenges to tap into community knowledgeService providers Search for OEMs and operators to support their services View and respond to RFPs from service providers Search for contractors to support their services View and respond to RFPs from service providers Request expert or tools support Execute joint operations on demand Source: Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Saudi Arabia
