29th DaaS Acquisition Closed
ZenaTech completed the acquisition of Merritt Paul Land Surveying, LLC, a Georgia-based firm licensed in 17 states serving solar, railroad, and construction customers.
-
Canada Defence Drone Initiative Qualification
ZenaTech was selected as a qualified supplier under the Government of Canada's Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace, creating a pathway to compete for future Canadian Armed Forces and Coast Guard drone requirements.
-
Regulatory Template for EU Expansion
Management stated the EASA-based SORA approval provides a replicable template to apply market by market across the European Union rather than starting fresh in each jurisdiction.
Analysis · ZENA · Technology
Clearing a key European regulatory hurdle, ZenaTech obtained Irish Aviation Authority SORA approval for large-scale precision agriculture drone operations, providing a replicable EASA template for expansion across the EU. The filing also confirms the company's 29th Drone as a Service acquisition — Merritt Paul Land Surveying, a Georgia firm licensed in 17 states with solar and railroad customers — and its qualification for Canada's Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace, a pre-qualified supplier pool for future Canadian Armed Forces and Coast Guard requirements. None of these three developments carries a disclosed dollar value, but together they extend the company's regulatory reach, acquisition-led roll-up, and defense pipeline.
