Press releaseIssued by the company.

Evgeni Borisov, Founder and CEO of VIMANA Global Inc, presented VIMANA's first full scale model at the Wealth Arabia Summit in Dubai, premium forum bringing together the region's top earners, their representatives and solution providers. Also VIMANA was a co-sponsor of the Summit with such high-level companies as American express and Porsche.

A full-scale VIMANA prototype was placed in front of the Museum of The Future under construction which is very symbolic. This full scale model was made especially for potential investors looking for opportunities for social investments. By 2020, VIMANA plans to deploy its VTOL Autonomous Aerial Vehicles and Airspace Management Platform in selected smart cities around the globe. Thus far, VIMANA has entered into strategic agreements with thirty-five smart cities and established offices in five prospective markets.

"It's clear that today's global metropoles are in need of better transportation systems. Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAV) are part of that solution, but we also need a secure way to manage AAV flights. This is why we are developing a blockchain-backed airspace platform that will automatically and securely manage flight routes, eliminating human error", Evgeni Borisov.

"VIMANA's presence at the Wealth Arabia Summit certainly generated plenty of intrigue. The prominent exhibition space directly outside the venue enhanced this further and enabled VIMANA to showcase what the future of travel may look like for Dubai and other cities worldwide moving forward. Evgeni's presentation provided further insight on the project and ensured VIMANA went away as one of the most talked about sponsors of the day", - says Daniel Bateman, organizer of the Wealth Arabia Summit.

Also Evgeni Borisov took a part in the conference, which provides key industry information and actionable investment advice for HNWIs and senior investment executives. Evgeni has delivered a keynote presentation titled "Social Impact Investment in Urban Air Mobility: How to Make Transportation the Future Real Today" addressing the problem in a rising number of global cities, of land commuting becoming unmanageable. Also Evgeni took a part in a panel discussion titled "The Fintech Future: How Innovation in Blockchain & Beyond Will Change the Way You Invest".

Following the event, Discovery Channel, Wealth Magazine and other authoritative media has interviewed Evgeni Borisov.
