“These signed offers for acquisition mark a transformational milestone in building one of the world’s leading Drone as a Service businesses,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “Beyond the expected addition of C$40 million in revenue over the first 12 months following closing, these potential acquisitions significantly expand our customer relationships, geographic reach, and geospatial expertise across three key markets.

These prospective transactions advance ZenaTech’s strategy of acquiring established legacy, and low-tech businesses, including land surveying, infrastructure and renewable energy inspections, and power washing companies in the U.S. and globally, and converting their traditional or manual operations to a Drone as a Service business model. The Drone as a Service (DaaS) model is similar to Software as a Service (SaaS), however instead of delivering software through a subscription, it delivers turnkey drone-powered services and data on a recurring subscription or usage basis. Customers gain access to advanced surveying, inspection, monitoring, precision agriculture and other drone-enabled capabilities without the upfront capital investment, specialized personnel, equipment maintenance, or regulatory complexity of operating their own drone fleet.
