ZenaTech begins development of AI data center software By Investing.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZENA) announced today it has commenced initial development of ZenaWorx, a LiDAR-based virtual design and construction progress monitoring software targeting the AI data center construction sector. The company, with a market capitalization of $110.94 million, has seen its stock decline 58% over the past six months, currently trading at $1.43, well below its 52-week high of $7.11. The software will use drone-captured LiDAR data to create 3D digital maps of construction sites for tracking progress and identifying deviations from planned designs, according to a press release statement. ZenaTech stated it will offer the product through its Drone as a Service and Enterprise SaaS divisions. The company said it has identified a potential beta customer planning to begin a several hundred-acre AI data center construction project and is currently in negotiations. ZenaTech did not disclose the customer's identity or provide a timeline for the software's completion. ZenaWorx is intended to process drone and LiDAR-captured data and transform it into visual, analytics-driven construction progress insights. The software is currently in early-stage development, the company stated. LiDAR technology uses laser-based scanning to generate 3D representations of physical environments, allowing measurement of terrain, elevation changes, and comparison of construction progress against design specifications. ZenaTech cited research from Mordor Intelligence indicating the North American AI data center market is growing at 30% compound annual growth rate until 2030. The company noted that large-scale AI data center construction projects typically require 12 to 36 months to complete. ZenaTech itself has demonstrated strong revenue momentum, with revenue growth of 558% in the last twelve months as of Q4 2025, though InvestingPro Tips indicate the company is quickly burning through cash. Analysts anticipate continued sales growth in the current year, with revenue forecast to grow 133% in fiscal 2026. Investors can access 13 additional ProTips and comprehensive financial metrics on InvestingPro. "The AI data center market is experiencing unprecedented expansion as an important growth market for drone-powered surveying, analytics, and construction monitoring solutions," said Shaun Passley, CEO of ZenaTech. ZenaTech specializes in AI drone solutions, Drone as a Service, enterprise SaaS, and quantum computing solutions. The company operates across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In other recent news, ZenaTech, Inc. has been active in expanding its operations and investment portfolio. The company announced the completion of its 21st acquisition with the purchase of Andy Paris & Associates, a land surveying firm based in Lake Oswego, Oregon. This acquisition enhances ZenaTech's Drone as a Service operations in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, ZenaTech signed an offer to acquire an Alberta-based land surveying and geomatics company, marking its first land surveying acquisition in Canada focused on drone-based services for the oil and gas industry. In a strategic move, ZenaTech acquired a 12% stake in Route1 Inc. by purchasing 937,477 common shares through the TSX Venture Exchange. This acquisition marks ZenaTech's initial investment in Route1. Furthermore, ZenaTech initially reported acquiring a 10.1% stake in Boardwalktech Software Corp. but later corrected this to below the 10% threshold, with its holdings now at 9.59% of outstanding shares. These developments reflect ZenaTech's ongoing efforts to diversify its investments and expand its technological capabilities in the surveying and technology sectors.
