Company has identified profitable, revenue-generating companies intending to materially expand its consolidated revenue
Vancouver, British Columbia, (May 26, 2026) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces the next chapter of its growth strategy: a partnership program that invites established, founder-led companies to join the ZenaTech platform and grow alongside it. The acquisition program focuses on profitable, revenue-generating companies across ZenaTech’s core verticals — defense technology, enterprise SaaS, and related AI infrastructure.
ZenaTech has identified several appropriate companies and has entered into non-binding letters of intent and term sheets with select parties as discussions progress toward potential definitive acquisition partnership agreements. ZenaTech’s approach is collaborative and founder-friendly: it engages directly and confidentially with owners and teams that made each business successful and structures every partnership so that founders and employees can continue building on a larger platform with greater resources behind them.
“For the past five years, we have deliberately built the ZenaTech operating platform — engineering, manufacturing, software development, and a global footprint — and we built it to be a home where strong companies can do their best work,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “The founders we want to partner with have already created something valuable, and our role is to help them take it further. We are not looking to take companies apart; we are looking to give great teams a bigger platform, more resources, and access to customers they could not reach on their own. When a partnership is the right fit, we believe both the founders joining us and our shareholders benefit together.”

ZenaTech looks for partner companies that share the following characteristics:
Profitable and revenue-generating — positive operating cashflow or a favorable, near-term path to profitability under ZenaTech ownership.
Closely held — companies where ZenaTech can work directly and confidentially with founders and majority owners to shape a partnership that suits everyone involved.
Strategic vertical fit — defense technology, enterprise SaaS, legacy to Drone as a Service automation, AI infrastructure, and adjacent verticals that integrate into the existing ZenaTech platform.
Geographic and operational leverage — customer base, talent, or operational footprint that extends ZenaTech’s presence in priority markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Accretive to consolidated revenue — each company, individually or in combination, has the potential to have a meaningful and immediate consolidated revenue contribution.
Operational and cultural fit — management teams whose values and standards complement ZenaTech’s, so that both organizations are stronger working together.
The current acquisition partnership chapter focuses on companies in the following sectors, each chosen for alignment with ZenaTech’s existing platform and revenue model:
Defense technology and unmanned systems — companies whose products, contracts, or engineering capabilities extend ZenaTech’s ZenaDrone solutions, Zena AI, and counter-UAS portfolios.
Enterprise SaaS and productivity software — companies whose recurring revenue, customer base, or technology adds value to ZenaTech’s broader enterprise software platform.
AI infrastructure and applied AI — companies whose models, data assets, or vertical applications strengthen the Zena AI platform across defense and enterprise use cases.
Drone as a Service automation — operators whose contracts and field operations expand ZenaTech’s drone powered land surveying, inspections, power washing, and manual/low tech or data-driven automation.
Specialty manufacturing and supply chain — companies whose production, machining, electronics, or composites capabilities reinforce ZenaTech’s vertically integrated drone and defense manufacturing footprint.
Over the past five years, ZenaTech has invested in the engineering capacity, regulatory and integration infrastructure, manufacturing footprint, and global subsidiary base needed to be a strong long-term home for the companies it partners with. That foundation means a founder joining ZenaTech gains immediate access to resources, customers, and support that would take years to build independently — while their business continues to operate under leadership that knows it best.
Subject to the final negotiation of agreements, due diligence completion, and customary closing conditions, ZenaTech will provide updates when available in accordance with disclosure and regulatory requirements. Founders and owners interested in exploring a partnership are welcome to contact ZenaTech directly or email investors@zenatech.com; all conversations are treated as confidential and without obligation.
