**ZenaTech Advances Its US Southeast DaaS Business with a Bolt-On Land Survey Company Acquisition Offer**
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announced it has extended an offer to acquire a well-established Florida land survey engineering firm that could serve as a bolt-on to another recently acquired land survey company. The acquisition would strengthen ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service presence in the high-growth Florida market and would be the fourth acquisition in the Southeast region and the fifth acquisition nationally.
“This target acquisition will strengthen our regional Florida coverage by delivering faster and more precise drone-powered surveys to construction, real estate and government customers, while accelerating our broader US DaaS rollout,“ said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “With the global drone survey market growing at over [19% a year](https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=kZ9m7F-lhmamB8B1Y2oCH6fUgnmljrTQPe6x8jmbOpxS1e50Ya-0mloF1RdAJKGfQMl3JhYAeTCjnwtI4N415uEz7Wv4f_ELY7dbfsptlZkaBu9JfAs9NIV9PHsOgKm-), we plan to leverage this growth by building a scalable, recurring revenue business that captures long-term value across land surveys and other legacy industries ripe for drone innovation.”
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.
The Drone as a Service or DaaS business model works similarly to Software as a Service (SaaS), but instead of providing software over the internet, this model offers drone technology solutions and services on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. Both business and government customers can conveniently access drones for tasks such as surveying, inspections, security, law enforcement, power washing or precision agriculture solutions without having to buy, operate, or maintain the drones themselves.
ZenaTech’s DaaS model offers customers, including government agencies, builders and developers, construction firms, and farmers, reduced upfront costs as there is no need to purchase expensive drone hardware and software, and convenience as the company manages drone pilots, regulatory certifications, maintenance, and operations. DaaS also offers scalability to companies to use more often or less often based on their needs and enables access to advanced drone technology and applications.
