Dronisos, a leader in innovative drone light shows, will premiere a holiday spectacular at Lake Eola Park on December 23.
Orlando, FL – Dronisos, the innovative French drone entertainment company renowned for its spectacular light shows, expands to Orlando, establishing its first North American office.
Founded in Bordeaux, France, in 2016, Dronisos swiftly ascended to prominence in the global drone light show industry. Known for orchestrating the largest drone show in Europe at Disneyland Paris, which featured an impressive fleet of 1,500 drones, the company has also illuminated iconic landmarks like the Colosseum in Rome and Mont-Saint-Michel in France.
Dronisos holds a unique position as the sole drone show company specializing in providing entertainment to theme parks worldwide, excelling in both indoor and outdoor environments. Distinguished by its end-to-end ownership of its ecosystem, from constructing drones to developing software and control systems, the firm stands out as a trusted partner to major theme parks and event organizers, allowing for rapid innovation.
Given Orlando’s status as the global hub of amusement parks, it was a natural choice for Dronisos’s U.S expansion.
Laurent Perchais,
Dronisos CEO
Laurent, who relocated to Orlando in August 2023, emphasized the company’s dedication to flourishing in the U.S. market.
Strategically situated at 9100 Conroy Windermere Rd, Windermere, FL, the office will serve as Dronisos’s U.S. regional headquarters and sales office, with plans for a Drone Show Academy at a local airfield currently underway. The newly established Orlando office is expected to generate new jobs.
To mark this momentous occasion, Dronisos will collaborate with the City of Orlando’s Downtown Development Board for a dazzling drone show at Lake Eola Park on December 23, 2023, at 8 p.m. This world premiere event, designed for families, promises a heartwarming holiday journey with colorful LED-lit drones crafting themed designs in the night sky.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dronisos to the City Beautiful,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.
With our upcoming downtown holiday drone show back by popular demand, our partnership with Dronisos showcases the fusion of technology and art, adding a touch of magic to our vibrant city and further solidifying Orlando as the MetaCenter and a global leader for innovation.
Buddy Dyer, Mayor of the City of Orlando
The Orlando Economic Partnership (OEP) played a pivotal role in supporting Dronisos’s expansion, providing essential information on sites, market data, research, connections to local partners, and assistance with drone regulations.
“Innovative companies like Dronisos expanding in our region enhance our community’s economic landscape and reinforce Orlando’s status as a destination for cutting-edge industries,” said Tim Giuliani, President and CEO of the OEP.
Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings expressed his excitement, stating, “Dronisos’ expertise and expansion aligns with our vision for Orange County as the ‘Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.’”
Their establishment of the first U.S. office in our region underscores our commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and inclusion, setting Orange County as the premier destination for business.
