Drone University of Japan (Minato-ku, Tokyo) will release the new book "Making Drones Your Business" (Gakugei Shuppan-sha), authored by Representative Director Shingo Nagura, on June 15, 2026, at bookstores and online stores across Japan. Prior to the release, the university will host a special exhibition booth, "Drone Business Cafe," at "Japan Drone 2026," one of Japan's largest drone exhibitions, held at Makuhari Messe starting June 3, 2026.

Background: Social Implementation and the Demand for "Pros" Since the lifting of restrictions on "Level 4 flights" in 2022, the drone industry has transitioned from technical verification to full-scale social implementation, supporting infrastructure in logistics, inspections, disaster prevention, and construction. While the market is expanding rapidly, there is a critical shortage of professionals who can ensure safety and achieve business results. In response, Shingo Nagura, who has led drone pilot training for years, interviewed 30 groups (39 people) from over 1,200 graduates to document their journey from beginners to professionals in this non-fiction drama.
Book Overview This book is not just a manual for operating drones.
