Droprise was born from a unique collaboration between Ludovic Claeys and Kristof Beirnaert. Both are experienced Class 1A pilots with a passion for drones. Their shared vision and expertise in distribution and service laid the foundation for Droprise.
Ludovic Claeys
With a background in distribution, sales, and service at Mercedes-Benz, Ludovic built his Auto Terminus Group into a success. After its acquisition in 2018, he fully shifted his focus to the drone sector. As a board member of the Belgian Drone Federation and a member of the Belgian Drone Council (BDCD), Ludovic has been actively advocating for the interests of drone pilots and the growth of the sector. He is also involved with IUNGOS, which fosters collaboration between governments, businesses, research institutions, and citizens in the security sector.
Kristof Beirnaert
Kristof brought his expertise from the Apple® world, where he was responsible for the service operations of a major distributor. His passion for technology and innovation led him to the drone sector. With a strong technical background and entrepreneurial mindset, Kristof is the driving force behind Droprise. He actively represents the sector within the BDCB.

Year after year, we continue to grow in a sector full of opportunities and innovation.
