ZenaTech Acquires Velocity Geomatics in 25th Deal Push

ZenaTech has completed its 25th acquisition, picking up Velocity Geomatics Inc., a Canadian company based in Alberta. The move marks a meaningful expansion of the company's Drones as a Service (DaaS) business into environmental and regulatory services tied to the oil and gas industry — a sector that's far from slowing down.

If you're not already tracking the drone inspection space, here's why it matters: the global market for drone inspection services in oil and gas is growing at a hefty 28% per year. That's the kind of growth rate that makes investors sit up straight. By absorbing Velocity Geomatics, ZenaTech is essentially buying a seat at a table that's getting bigger every year.

Pairing those services with drone technology creates a compelling package for oil and gas operators looking to cut costs and improve compliance reporting.
