2016 (1) - 2017 (19) - Présentation synthétique de 20 Drones for good en compétition à Dubaï (EAU) - MVP, POC, B2B, B2C
Mis à jour le 27/08/2023

 

Suite à leur présentation à Dubaï, les Drones for good peuvent être qualifiés de MVP (Minimum Viable Product; terminologie d'Eric Ries) bénéficiant ou non d'une POC (Proof Of Concept) via le B2B (Business To Business) ou le B2C (Business To Consumer); cette terminologie permet d'en préciser le stade de développement.
