ZenaTech Signs LOI to Acquire Sixth Land Survey Company in Arizona and First in the Southwest Region for Drone as a Service

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that it has signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire a sixth land survey engineering company located in Arizona. Upon completion, this will be the first acquisition in the Southwest Region and will serve as a launchpad to further regional development and the Company’s national DaaS business model bringing the speed and precision of AI drone solutions in a convenient subscription or pay-per-use model for businesses and government users.

“Arizona is a strategic location for our first potential Southwest region acquisition as we currently have business offices and a testing site in Phoenix. We can continue to benefit from the state’s favorable regulatory and manufacturing climate for drone companies. Our vision is to use a single location as a regional launchpad for adding future locations, and ultimately building our national presence offering ZenaDrone products and services for land surveys and many other applications,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

Drones as a Service or DaaS works similarly to Software as a Service (SaaS), but instead of providing software over the internet, it offers drone technology solutions and services on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. With DaaS, businesses and government customers can conveniently access drones for tasks such as surveying, inspections, security and law enforcement, or precision agriculture solutions or without having to buy, operate or maintain the drones themselves.

ZenaTech’s DaaS model offers customers like government agencies, builders and real estate developers, construction firms, farmers or energy companies reduced upfront costs as there is no need to purchase expensive drones, and convenience as the service provider manages maintenance and operation. DaaS also offers scalability to companies to use more often or less often based on needs and enables access to advanced drone technology and applications without the need for specialized training or equipment.

Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. Remotely piloted drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry gathering aerial data across expansive terrains in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months using more traditional photogrammetry methods.

According to Fact.MR, the global drone surveying market is poised for substantial growth and is expected to be worth over USD $8 billion globally by 2030. This market is expanding at a CAGR of 15-20%, driven by increasing demand from industries such as construction, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Within the drone surveying market, land surveys represent a large portion, with significant adoption in real estate, urban planning, environmental applications and infrastructure projects.
