ZenaTech Snags 28th DaaS Deal With Canadian Engineering Firm

Summarized from GlobalNewswire

ZENA closes on Cogswell Engineering, expanding its drone-as-a-service footprint across five Canadian provinces.

ZenaTech (Nasdaq: ZENA) just stamped deal number 28 on its Drones as a Service acquisition streak. The Vancouver-based AI drone and SaaS company has closed on Cogswell Engineering, Ltd., a full-service Canadian engineering outfit headquartered in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, near Halifax. That's three Canadian acquisitions total for ZENA — and its second bite at the Halifax market specifically.

Cogswell isn't a niche shop. It runs the full engineering stack — civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical — serving builders, construction firms, public works authorities, and multi-jurisdiction organizations spread across five Canadian provinces. That's a ready-made client base that ZenaTech can layer drone inspection and AI-powered monitoring services on top of immediately.

Canada's infrastructure sector is massive, and Halifax is a growing hub — this isn't a random pin on the map.

ZenaTech's broader platform spans AI drones, enterprise SaaS, and quantum computing solutions, positioning it to cross-sell aggressively into Cogswell's existing provincial contracts. The question for investors isn't whether management can buy companies — it clearly can. The question is how fast integration translates into margin expansion across the combined portfolio.
