“This award validates our strategy to create value by acquiring established land survey companies and integrating drone-based data capture, automation, and analytics into their existing operations,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “By purchasing firms that already have licensed professionals and long-standing client relationships in commercial and municipal markets, we gain immediate cash flow while we integrate drone technology. The strategy combines a fragmented, succession-driven industry roll-up opportunity with vertical integration—improving efficiency, expanding margins, and transitioning traditional surveying into higher-value, recurring Drone as a Service revenue streams.”
