About MLC Consulting

    An independent integrator between technology, regulation and the people who buy

    MLC Consulting is a specialist consulting and business development firm for the professional unmanned systems sector. We run two offices — Market Access and UAS Deployment — from Valencia, Spain, with a specialist European and international network behind them.

    What we are, in plain terms

    We are not a reseller and not a manufacturer. We do not depend on selling any particular piece of hardware, which is precisely what allows us to give an honest recommendation about it.

    Two directions of work meet in the same firm. Technology companies use us to enter Spain, Europe and Latin America. Enterprises, institutions and operators use us to turn a use case into an authorised, sustainable operation. Each side makes the other better informed.

    The engagement model is deliberately senior: one experienced point of contact who stays on the file, rather than a rotating team learning your sector at your expense.

    What we bring

    A curated sector database

    More than 5,000 curated records of companies and institutions in the sector, built and maintained over years of working inside it.

    A superconnector role

    Years of connecting manufacturers, operators, institutions and infrastructure owners who would not otherwise be in the same room.

    Regulatory literacy

    EASA framework, SORA methodology and operational authorisations treated as a commercial variable, not an afterthought.

    Europe and Latin America

    Spain as the base, wider Europe as the natural market and Latin America as a genuine, worked route rather than a slide.

    Institutional presence

    Participation in sector forums, working groups and projects, including the EDOS ecosystem meeting point.

    Neutrality

    No exclusive dependency on a single vendor. Recommendations are made on merit and stated as such.

    Experience

    • Participation in European U-space and drone deployment initiatives, including U-ELCOME.
    • Wingway I and II and vertiport-related work in the advanced air mobility space.
    • Market entry and business development programmes for European unmanned systems technology companies.
    • EDOS, the sector meeting point MLC promotes as a neutral, non-commercial connector.

    The team

    A deliberately senior team that stays on the file, rather than a rotating cast learning your sector at your expense.

    We work with technology companies, operators, institutions, research bodies and other consultancies. If there is a project where our network, our regulatory work or our market access capability adds something real, we are interested in the conversation.
