Unmanned4You

What Unmanned4You does

Unmanned4You S.r.l., founded in 2017 and headquartered in Naples (Via G. Porzio, Centro Direzionale Isola A2), is an Italian B2B drone services provider operating across healthcare logistics, facility and energy maintenance, agriculture and environment, security and surveillance, search and rescue, and aerial entertainment. The company positions itself as a technology-agnostic drone aggregator, selecting platforms from DJI (Matrice 350 RTK), FlyingBasket (FB3), Rigitech (EIGER), and Jedsy (GLIDER) on a per-mission basis, while developing proprietary service stacks such as SkyWash (drone-based facade and photovoltaic cleaning), Solar Proof (combined washing and thermography), a sonar-equipped subsea inspection service, and two flagship projects: Aetos (BVLOS transport of blood, biological samples and medical equipment) and Elyhub (a rooftop micro-logistics platform for urban drone delivery). Operations are led by co-founder Carmine Esposito together with Commercial Director Alberto Napoletano and a small team of ENAC-certified pilots, including personnel with the EU STS 01/02 BVLOS credential that enables long-range missions.

The business model is fee-for-service, project-based professional services delivered to enterprise and public-sector clients across Italy. Pricing for entry-level aerial filming is publicly listed at $240-$450 per project, while contracts for industrial cleaning, medical BVLOS trials, SAR demonstrations and entertainment shows are custom-quoted per mission or per trial program. Notable clients and partners include ASL Napoli 2, ASL Lecce / Sanitaservice, Banca d'Italia (Frascati), Roofsolar, CSI Global, AgriSolaris, the Italian Coast Guard (Brindisi), Marevivo, MSC Foundation and facility management firms EPM and Multiservice. Institutional alliances with the Distretto Tecnologico Aerospaziale della Campania (DTA), the Politecnico di Milano's Osservatorio Droni e Mobilità Aerea Avanzata, and ALIS provide regulatory access, academic credibility and procurement eligibility. Revenue remains undisclosed, the company reports 1-10 employees, and the ownership base appears to be founder-controlled with non-dilutive state aid rather than disclosed venture or private equity capital.

Core offering

Unmanned4You is an ENAC-certified drone service aggregator that delivers professional UAS operations across logistics (BVLOS medical cargo transport via its Aetos project), facility and energy maintenance (SkyWash drone cleaning and thermography), environment and agriculture (multispectral surveys, precision aerial distribution), safety (search and rescue, surveillance), and entertainment (synchronized drone light shows, aerial filming). The company sells project-based services combining certified pilots (EU STS 01/02 BVLOS), proprietary payloads, and a technology-agnostic fleet (DJI, FlyingBasket, Rigitech, Jedsy) to enterprise, institutional, and government clients across Italy.

Product overview

Unmanned4You offers a comprehensive portfolio of drone-based services organized around four core verticals: Logistics (Elyhub infrastructure platform and Aetos medical transport), Facility & Energy Maintenance (SkyWash cleaning service, thermal surveys, and sonar inspections), Environment & Agriculture (multispectral surveys, liquid distribution, environmental monitoring), and Safety & Entertainment (search & rescue, surveillance, and synchronized drone shows). The company operates as a technology-agnostic service provider utilizing third-party drone hardware (DJI Matrice, Rigitech Eiger, FlyingBasket FB3, Jedsy Glider) combined with proprietary integrated systems. Core projects Aetos (BVLOS medical cargo) and Elyhub (urban drone delivery infrastructure) support Advanced Air Mobility development.

Direct peers

• FlyingBasket: Italian cargo drone manufacturer and ENAC LUC-certified operator providing the FB3 platform for Unmanned4You's Aetos medical transport project. Both companies target BVLOS heavy-payload logistics in Italy, making them direct peers and partners.
• Jedsy: Swiss-Italian VTOL convertiplane drone maker specializing in medical sample and urgent supply delivery via wall-mounted docking stations. Jedsy's GLIDER is one of Unmanned4You's deployed platforms, making it a directly comparable peer in BVLOS medical logistics.
• Rigitech: Italian VTOL convertiplane manufacturer (EIGER) designed for long-range parcel transport. Supplies hardware to Unmanned4You and competes in the same Italian BVLOS logistics niche for last-mile and inter-urban delivery.
• Matternet: Swiss-American pioneer in hospital-to-hospital medical drone delivery, operating in Switzerland, Germany, and the US. Closest international peer to Unmanned4You's Aetos medical transport service in terms of use case, customer base, and regulatory positioning.
• Manna Aero: Irish drone delivery startup running last-mile food and parcel delivery in suburban Ireland. Directly comparable to Unmanned4You's Elyhub urban delivery model in use case, though at a more mature operational scale.

Broad incumbents

• Zipline: Global leader in medical drone delivery with thousands of flights completed across Africa and the US. Comparable to Unmanned4You's Aetos project in mission profile but vastly larger scale and geographic footprint.
