Shares of ZenaTech Inc. (ZENA) drew investor attention on Thursday after the company announced it will acquire a Brisbane-headquartered Australian land surveying and spatial services firm, marking its 22nd Drone-as-a-Service acquisition and its first major push into the Asia-Pacific region.
The company stated that the acquisition will enhance its customer base in infrastructure, public works, and natural resources sectors and expand its footprint in the Australian market, starting with three offices in Queensland.
“Strategically, it also expands ZenaTech’s access into the Asia-Pacific corridor, which provides the potential to significantly expand our global footprint,” said Shaun Passley, Chief Executive Officer at ZenaTech.
Passley also stated that the deal further aids the company’s long-term vision of constructing a scalable AI autonomy platform through Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), digitizing and improving legacy services with drones.
The company has 25 international DaaS locations and continues to expand its network and service portfolio.
According to ZenaTech, the 35-year-established geospatial and surveying company has offices in Brisbane, Gladstone, and the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. It delivers precision surveying, advanced geospatial mapping, and LiDAR-based data capture to government, public works, infrastructure, and commercial clients across large-scale civil and construction projects.
The company also stated that this acquisition aligns with the DaaS platform, supported by the target firm’s current use of drone-enabled workflows, established geospatial capabilities, existing client base, and data-driven operations.
ZenaTech said it plans to build on this foundation and roll out standardized drone-based surveying and infrastructure solutions.
As a result, this deal further boosts the company’s acquisition-led strategy, building a globally integrated DaaS network consisting of recurring, technology-enabled services, ZenaTech stated.
In a shareholder letter, CEO Passley said that for 2026, ZenaTech expects a built-in revenue lift as its 2025 acquisitions contribute full-year results instead of partial periods.
Beyond that baseline, the company plans to target additional acquisitions in sectors ready for drone disruption, pushing into new U.S. states and international markets, Passley added.
In its DaaS segment, the company said it plans to add non-digitized sectors where drone innovation can slash costs and improve efficiency.
The company is also eyeing scaling manufacturing across its three facilities and bringing its Arizona and Ukraine sites to full operational status.
