From basement beginnings in Hungary to drones flying in 25 countries — this week's episode is for anyone who believes that the future of agriculture and infrastructure is aerial, and that Europe has a seat at the table.

Alan sits down with Károly Ludvigh, CEO and co-founder of ABZ Innovation, a Hungarian company that got fed up with poor-performing spray drones and simply decided to build their own. What started as a precision agriculture solution has grown into a full product ecosystem — from heavy-duty spraying drones to building-cleaning machines that can reach 200 feet without scaffolding. Károly breaks down the technology, the business model, and the regulatory battles that shaped ABZ Innovation's journey from Budapest to the global stage.

Key topics covered:

• Controlled Droplet Application (CDA): how ABZ Innovation achieves 90% water savings and 50% chemical reduction compared to traditional spraying
• The C-Series cleaning drone — why a building-cleaning drone is outperforming expectations and replacing scaffolding worldwide
• The M-Series open platform — a customisable drone ecosystem for universities, researchers, and businesses with unique payload needs
• Right to Repair philosophy and why it matters for operators
• Navigating global drone regulations
