The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
ZenaTech, a Vancouver-based technology company, has transitioned its business model from enterprise software to providing AI-enabled autonomous drone platforms and services. The company acquired Cardinal Civil Resources, a land surveying and engineering firm, in August 2025. ZenaTech also reported significant financial growth, with first-half revenue reaching CAD 12.5 million, representing a 400% increase.
Why it matters
The company's Drone as a Service segment is its primary revenue generator, having contributed $1.98 million in the first half of 2025. The acquisition of Cardinal Civil Resources expanded ZenaTech's client base, including the United States Department of Transportation, coinciding with potential regulatory reforms for Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone operations.
