Key Facts

1ZenaTech has closed its 25th acquisition by purchasing Alberta, Canada-based Velocity Geomatics Inc.
2The acquisition aims to expand Drone as a Service (DaaS) into environmental and regulatory services for the oil and gas sector.

In a move reflecting the accelerating consolidation within the industrial technology sector, ZenaTech has closed its 25th acquisition by purchasing Alberta, Canada-based Velocity Geomatics Inc. According to reports, the acquisition aims to integrate specialized geomatics capabilities to bolster the company’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) offerings. This strategic purchase is specifically designed to target the environmental and regulatory service needs of the oil and gas sector in Western Canada.

This expansion comes as the commercial drone market sees significant growth, with service providers racing to offer integrated data solutions for the energy industry. Compared to peers, ZenaTech is focusing on niche acquisitions to drive margins, a strategy mirrored by firms like Draganfly which has also expanded its North American footprint per market data. Alberta remains a critical hub for energy services, making Velocity Geomatics' local presence a strategic asset for accessing major oil producers.

Operationally, investors are watching how ZenaTech integrates these new assets to generate steady cash flows from regulatory service contracts. Looking at the economic calendar, Canadian labor market data from July 10, 2026, showed the unemployment rate holding at 6.5%, providing a relatively stable operating environment for the company's Canadian operations.
