Drones and their usage are definitely an endless source of inspiration for many entrepreneurs as well as investors. To learn more about the future of drones, the building of a team in the Ukraine and the investor landscape in Switzerland, Cédric visited Microsoft offices and had a refreshing conversation with Martin Fuchsberger, CEO & co-founder of Drone Harmony.
Fuchsberger is a Computing Science PhD holder and an entrepreneurship enthusiast. After completing his studies in ETH in Zurich, he spent more than two years working for Swiss Federal Railways (@sbb.cff.ffs.ch) on the improvement of the rail traffic management system efficiency. For the same purpose he collaborated with Deutsche Bahn, and two years ago decided to move his career into the startup direction. After concluding that the corporate world was not as fast in doing innovation as he would have liked it to be, Fuchsberger decided to start a company with his two colleagues.
