Letter of Support for project proposal:
Smart Skies - Joint Development of the
Drone Based Municipal Services
Dear Mr Hanson
The Estonian Transport Administration is pleased to extend its full support for the innovative
project Smart Skies proposed by Tartu Science Park aimed at improving the quality and cost-
efficiency of infrastructure surveillance in Tartu and Valmiera through the use of drone
technology.
We believe this project, which includes developing a comprehensive five-year strategy and action
plan (2025-2029), conducting test flights, and organizing ecosystem-building events, will
significantly enhance public service delivery in the region. The Estonian Transport Administration
recognizes the potential of drone technology to revolutionize infrastructure monitoring and
maintenance, leading to more efficient and effective management of city services.
The Estonian Transport Administration looks forward to collaborating on this initiative and
contributing our expertise to ensure its success.
Yours sincerely
