VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"
, a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces the closing of Jacksonville, Florida-based land survey and engineering firm, A&J Land Surveyor, Inc. (“A&J”). This marks a tenth acquisition for its growing Drone-as-a-Service businesses. A&J brings longstanding customer relationships and a foothold in Florida’s aviation, utility and infrastructure markets, which includes marine surveys.
“By combining the A&J team’s years of survey expertise with our AI-driven DaaS platform we have an ideal, innovative combination of building capacity and speed for accelerating drone use in airport, utility, and infrastructure surveying,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “Florida remains a strategic growth market for us with favorable year-round flying conditions, a long-standing history as an aviation hub, and diverse terrain ranging from coastlines and port areas to agricultural land, wetlands, and disaster-prone areas. This unique environment drives strong demand for aerial inspection, mapping, surveying, crop monitoring, coastal erosion tracking, and emergency response.”
Founded in 1995, A&J Land Surveyor specializes in complex surveying projects across aviation, utility, and infrastructure, with expertise in runway surveys, hangar projects, and utility development. The firm is well established in Jacksonville and has longstanding relationships with leading regional aviation and utility authorities. The transaction also brings opportunities for DaaS to expand into coastal and marine markets through hydrographic and bathymetric surveys that align with Florida’s port and shoreline development.
ZenaTech has now completed ten acquisitions toward its goal of acquiring and establishing 25 Drone-as-a-Service locations by mid-2026. The company’s DaaS model provides businesses and government customers with a flexible and convenient on-demand pay-per-use or subscription access to drone-based services for a variety of surveying, inspections, and automation of old tech or manual process. The model eliminates the need to invest in capital costs, pilots, maintenance, or regulatory compliance to benefit from drone innovation. The company is acquiring land surveying and other businesses ripe for drone innovation, to advance its national vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice drone business anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue.
