In this episode we speak with Max Hjalmarsson, Co-Founder and CEO of Airpelago, about his entrepreneurial journey and the growth of one of Europe’s leading drone inspection companies.

Max shares how Airpelago evolved from an idea into a fast-scaling business focused on power line inspections using autonomous drone operations. The conversation explores aviation safety culture, drone regulations, automation, AI, infrastructure monitoring, and how Airpelago is helping energy companies improve grid reliability and prevent blackouts.

The episode also covers startup growth, hiring culture, scaling internationally, and why the future of drone operations will rely on automation, regulation, and operational efficiency.
