ZenaTech, Inc. will showcase its Drone as a Service growth and defense solutions at a series of investor and defense events scheduled over the next three months. The company aims to meet with institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth retail investors to discuss its growth strategy, while its subsidiary ZenaDrone will engage with global defense, government, and public safety buyers to secure future pilot programs and procurement contracts.

The company’s AI-powered drone solutions addressing global security challenges will be a key focus. These include Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, a medium-sized heavy-lift cargo drone, drone-based indoor security and inventory management, and advancements in counter-UAS defense systems, interceptor drones, and underwater drones.

ZenaTech’s leadership will present at the following events:

Investor and Defense Engagement

At the Global Technology Virtual Investor Conference, hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences, ZenaTech will conduct one-on-one meetings to discuss its Drone as a Service initiatives. The company is also one of three selected to present at the Qualified Capital Investments Tech Movers Event in Miami, highlighting its business and revenue growth.

Defense Capabilities

ZenaDrone will exhibit at APSCON Unmanned 2026, showcasing solutions for public safety and first-responder applications. At MSPO 2026 in Poland, officially supported by the Polish Ministry of National Defense, the subsidiary will highlight its ISR, heavy-lift cargo, and counter-UAS solutions to NATO delegations and global defense manufacturers.

ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) specializes in AI autonomy drone platforms to transform industrial, government, and defense sectors. Its subsidiaries include ZenaDrone for manufacturing and a global Drone as a Service business.

ZenaTech, Inc. has reported an annualized revenue run rate of approximately CAD $33 million, derived by multiplying its first quarter 2026 revenue of CAD $8.3 million by four. This calculation is for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the current revenue scale following the completion of its Drone as a Service (DaaS) acquisitions and should not be interpreted as management's financial guidance for fiscal 2026. The run rate reflects the strength of its DaaS model and the integration of acquisitions completed over the past year, with the company viewing this figure as a baseline anticipating further growth as newly acquired businesses contribute a full twelve months of revenue later in fiscal 2026.

Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech, attributed the performance to the company's acquisition-led strategy and active DaaS pipeline. ZenaTech’s primary revenue engine remains the DaaS segment, through which the company acquires operationally mature but under-digitized service businesses and integrates its ZenaDrone proprietary drone platforms and AI analytics into their workflows. The company continues to target land survey and geospatial mapping, infrastructure and asset inspection, and exterior building cleaning businesses — sectors where drone-enabled service delivery can provide an immediate productivity advantage. As drone utilization deepens within each portfolio company, ZenaTech anticipates revenue expansion through capacity growth, contract upsell, new drone-derived data product lines, and improved operating margins.

Several acquisitions completed during fiscal 2025 and the first half of fiscal 2026 contributed only partial-year revenue in the periods they closed. These businesses are expected to contribute a full twelve-month revenue run rate for the first time during the balance of fiscal 2026. ZenaTech continues to pursue acquisitions through its Partnership Acquisition Program, focusing on defense technology, enterprise SaaS, AI infrastructure, and specialty manufacturing.
