The reason behind the nominations & the reason behind GLOBHE is the possibility to use drones to create a better future. At GLOBHE we believe the future of possible is already here. We are using drones & artificial intelligence to disrupt, innovate & shape a better future. Like all things great, the idea behind GLOBHE sprung from personal experience & interest. Helena’s parents worked as doctors globally when she grew up & she got to spend a lot of time in Africa & Asia, regions where drones could really make a difference through the provision of new perspectives, real time information, or even provide faster medical cargo deliveries. She saw concrete challenges & opportunities that she later applied solutions to during her studies & work in the United States & Sweden. There was a great need for a global drone service provider that used the drone as a tool to create a better future – in 2015 GLOBHE was born and started to change the way the world looks at drones.
