Uwe Meinberg has been active in the subject area of "Logistics and IT" for over 30 years, both in research and in industry, and can point to the experience gained from around 400 relevant projects.

After graduating in electrical engineering, he began his professional career in 1983 as a research assistant at the Institute for Material Flow and Logistics of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in Dortmund, the world's leading organisation for application-oriented research.

Since 2009, one of the numerous projects he worked on or was responsible for, which dealt with safety issues in critical transport infrastructures, has developed into intensive work on unmanned aerial vehicles in the context of logistics and other application scenarios. Added to this were unmanned (autonomous) surface vehicles - a topic that was already the subject of his dissertation thesis in 1989.
