Autonomous aerial surveying is becoming an essential tool for energy companies looking to boost efficiency and lower operating costs.

NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Market News Updates News Commentary – For years, surveying an oil field or inspecting miles of pipeline meant sending large crews into the field, renting helicopters, and spending days—or even weeks—collecting data. That’s changing fast. Today, drones equipped with AI, LiDAR, thermal cameras, and high-resolution imaging can do the same work in a fraction of the time while delivering far more detailed information. They’re helping oil and gas companies map drilling sites, monitor pipelines, detect methane leaks, inspect refineries, and keep projects moving without putting workers in unnecessary danger. Simply put, drones are becoming one of the smartest investments energy companies can make.  Companies adopting drone technologies include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE: XOM), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY).

The numbers back up the story. The global commercial drone market is expected to grow from about $41 billion in 2025 to more than $95 billion by 2030, with some long-range forecasts topping $160 billion by 2034. The drone surveying and mapping market is also on a steep growth curve, projected to climb from roughly $2.5 billion to more than $8 billion by 2033. As energy companies continue modernizing their operations, drones are becoming a standard part of the workflow—not just for exploration, but for pipeline inspections, environmental compliance, construction monitoring, maintenance planning, and day-to-day asset management. What was once considered cutting-edge technology is quickly becoming standard operating procedure.

For investors, that’s where the opportunity starts to get interesting. The energy industry isn’t simply buying more drones—it’s investing in an entirely new way of operating. Companies that provide drone hardware, AI-powered software, data analytics, and Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions are positioned to benefit as adoption continues to spread across the industry. Every new pipeline, drilling project, storage facility, refinery expansion, or infrastructure upgrade creates another opportunity for drone technology to replace slower, more expensive inspection methods. As oil and gas companies look for ways to improve efficiency, lower operating costs, and strengthen safety while meeting tougher environmental standards, the demand for intelligent drone solutions looks poised to keep climbing for years to come.

ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) DaaS Oil and Gas Business Enters a Strengthened Market with Higher Oil Prices and More Than US$500 Billion in Expected Canadian Energy Investment Over the Next Decade –  ZenaTech, Inc. ($ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, provides an update on its energy sector field services operations in Western Canada. The Company’s recent acquisition, Velocity Geomatics, providing drone-based regulatory and environmental surveys to oil and gas producers, is entering a strengthened market with recent oil price increases of over 45% in the second quarter versus the same period last year, alongside Canada’s oil and gas industry expected to attract more than US$500 billion in investment over the next decade.

“Our Drone as a Service business is a field services business that follows customer activity–when producers in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan have more cash flow, they drill more wells,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZenaTech. “Higher oil prices are improving cash flow for producers today, supporting drilling, infrastructure, reclamation and environmental compliance work that drives demand for our surveying and inspection services. Looking ahead, we also believe current trends and strong forecasts for continued investment in Canada’s energy sector will provide a long-term tailwind to expand our Drone as a Service business in Canada as well as globally. Approximately 80% of Velocity’s current projects already utilize drone-based workflows, providing an established platform along with an established customer base to further scale our drone-enabled services.”

In July 2026, ZenaTech completed the acquisition of Velocity Geomatics, known as the Velocity Group, based in Grande Prairie, Alberta. It is the Company’s first acquisition focused specifically on geomatics for environmental and regulatory compliance in oil and gas. Velocity operates from four offices across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. It serves leading regional and international oil and gas producers.

Publicly reported industry data shows that cash flow available to Western Canadian producers has increased materially year-over-year. According to Oil Sands Magazine, average WTI and Western Canadian Select crude prices during the second quarter of 2026 were approximately 45% higher than the same period a year earlier, supporting stronger cash flow across Western Canadian energy producers.

Western Canada’s energy sector represents a significant growth opportunity for Drone as a Service. According to  Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Canada’s oil and gas industry is expected to attract more than US$500 billion in investment over the next decade, driven by growing energy demand, expanded export capacity, and continued infrastructure and environmental investment. While higher oil prices are supporting increased customer activity today, these long-term trends are expected to drive sustained demand for drone-enabled surveying, inspection, mapping, and environmental monitoring services, potentially supporting the continued expansion of ZenaTech’s DaaS business.

Oil and gas producer investment can directly translate into demand for Drone as a Service offerings due to new drilling, enhanced recovery, infrastructure expansion, and environmental programs require recurring surveying, mapping, inspection, monitoring, and regulatory compliance services. Asset retirement and reclamation projects are particularly attractive because they are driven by regulatory requirements rather than discretionary spending, creating resilient demand across commodity cycles.  Continued…  Read this full release and additional news for ZENA by visiting:  https://www.zenatech.com/newsroom/

Why investors are paying attention to this market:

Oil and gas companies are rapidly replacing slower, more expensive surveying methods with AI-powered drones.The commercial drone market is projected to exceed $95 billion by 2030, with long-term forecasts reaching more than $160 billion.Drone surveying improves safety while reducing inspection time and operating costs.AI, LiDAR, thermal imaging, and digital mapping are becoming standard tools across the energy sector.Growing environmental regulations are increasing demand for methane detection and infrastructure monitoring.Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) is creating recurring revenue opportunities through ongoing inspections, mapping, analytics, and compliance services.The combination of energy infrastructure, automation, and artificial intelligence is creating one of the fastest-growing technology markets serving the oil and gas industry.

Leading Companies that are positioned to benefit from drone adoption in oil & gas operations:

Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) utilizes drone technology for automated aerial inspections, thermal monitoring, methane and emissions detection, and pipeline surveillance. By integrating autonomous “drone-in-a-box” systems and AI analytics, Chevron has cut high-risk worker hours and improved operational efficiency across global facilities.

Chevron uses drones for a variety of tasks, including performing visual and thermal inspections, and detecting emissions.  The company is working to develop its drone-in-a-box system. It aims to use autonomous drones to perform remote inspections, reducing the need for worker-led field visits.

Company (KOC) awarded Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) a multi-year agreement to support the development of the Ahmadi Innovation Valley (AIV), a flagship initiative that advances Kuwait’s energy sector transformation.

The research and development (R&D) center will support KOC to deliver solutions in brownfield, greenfield, and unconventional fields, address higher operational complexity, and build technology designed for Kuwait’s upstream challenges. The center embeds applied research as a permanent capability from concept through prototyping, piloting, and commercialization.

Halliburton uses drone technology primarily for remote asset monitoring, aerial inspections of oil and gas infrastructure, and site maintenance. The company stands as an industry leader in patent filings and application diversity for tethered drones, deploying them to minimize the need for field personnel in hazardous environments.

ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE: XOM) global operations encompass a staggering amount of physical infrastructure, from towering flare stacks and complex pipe racks in refineries to massive storage tanks and the internal chambers of process vessels. Inspecting this infrastructure is critical for ensuring operational integrity and safety, but it is also fraught with challenges. Traditional inspection methods often require personnel to work at dangerous heights, utilizing costly scaffolding or rope access, or to enter hazardous confined spaces, posing significant safety risks. These manual inspections are also time-consuming and can lead to extended operational downtime. The strategic goal is to leverage robotics and AI to conduct these inspections more safely, more efficiently, and with a higher degree of data fidelity.

ExxonMobil utilizes aerial drones and robotic systems globally—such as through its Global Aerial Visual Inspection Service (GAVIS) program—to inspect high-altitude infrastructure, monitor offshore operations, and detect methane emissions, cutting inspection times by up to 60% while improving worker safety.

Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) operates an extensive internal unmanned aircraft system (UAS) program. It utilizes dozens of part-time and full-time pilots deploying DJI hardware for site inspections, asset monitoring, safety surveillance, and emission tracking across active oil and gas fields like the DJ Basin.

Silicon Valley Investors Urge Taiwan Startups to Find Niches as AI Competition Intensifies

Published

October 20, 2026

By

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwanese startups seeking to compete in artificial intelligence must develop specialized expertise, strengthen distribution networks and identify markets overlooked by larger technology companies, investors said at a Silicon Valley gathering on Monday.

The discussion took place during Taiwan × Silicon Valley: Founders, Capital & the Next Wave of Innovation, organized by Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley Hub and Taiwan Global Angels in partnership with Google Cloud as part of SF Tech Week.

Opening the event, Uly Su, director and head of Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley Hub, emphasized the hub’s role in connecting Taiwanese startups with U.S. investors, corporations and business opportunities, strengthening ties between Taiwan’s technology ecosystem and Silicon Valley.

The Shrinking AI Advantage

Timothy Chen, managing partner at Essence VC, said the rapid evolution of AI models has made technological advantages increasingly short-lived, forcing investors to reassess how they identify promising startups.

Rather than focusing exclusively on technologies that could dominate over the next five years, Chen said investors are examining founders’ specialized knowledge, distribution capabilities and ability to execute. Even a three- to six-month advantage could prove valuable in a rapidly changing market.

The panelists also discussed how startups could compete against larger technology companies. They emphasized identifying underserved markets, developing specialized capabilities and moving quickly before established players enter emerging sectors.

Beyond Software: Space, Robotics and Physical AI

Poseidon Ho, founding partner and CEO of Outliers Fund, highlighted opportunities beyond conventional AI applications, particularly in space and defense, where government contracts and expanding infrastructure investment are creating markets for emerging companies.

Ho said the sector offers a different investment model from software, with longer development cycles and substantial technical requirements. He encouraged Taiwanese entrepreneurs to explore opportunities within the space industry’s supply chains, including government contracting.

Austin Hwang, principal at ADVentures, identified physical AI, robotics and medical technology as areas of interest, particularly where startups combine specialized hardware with software and proprietary technical capabilities.

Hwang said Taiwan’s experience in semiconductors, electronics and manufacturing could provide an advantage as AI increasingly moves beyond software into physical applications.

From Technology to Commercial Success

A second panel featuring experienced entrepreneurs shifted the discussion toward commercialization, acquisitions and the challenges of building companies across Taiwan and the United States.

Paul Hung, CEO of Taudia, emphasized that startups must begin with a clearly defined customer problem rather than technology development alone.

Hung said founders need to understand why customers would pay for their products and build teams and investor networks capable of supporting commercialization.

Terry Hsiao, managing partner at BonHope Capital, drew on his experience building and selling companies to discuss the decisions founders face when considering acquisitions.

He noted that venture capital firms can spread their risks across multiple investments, while first-time founders often have most of their financial interests tied to a single company. Securing an initial successful exit could therefore be an important consideration.

Medical technology entrepreneur Steve Wu discussed the challenges of developing regulated healthcare products, including lengthy development cycles, regulatory requirements and the importance of understanding the commercial potential of new technologies.

The speakers also highlighted cultural differences between Taiwan and Silicon Valley, where entrepreneurship and risk-taking are more widely encouraged and founders have greater exposure to experienced investors and business leaders.

For Taiwanese startups, the discussions underscored the importance of combining the island’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities with stronger commercialization strategies, international market access and the ability to compete in rapidly changing industries.

Flexxon Partners with Tech4Biz Solutions to co-develop server infrastructure that is secure by default

Published

As organisations increasingly look to build their own servers to run AI systems, the two companies are working to ensure purpose-built infrastructure and security go hand-in-hand

SINGAPORE and BENGALURU, India, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Flexxon, a pioneer in secure memory storage and hardware-based cybersecurity solutions, today announced its strategic investment in Tech4Biz Solutions. The partnership will see the companies co-develop solutions that enable efficient and reliable deployment of secure server and data centre operations – a heightened need as enterprises move Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads on-premises, onto infrastructure they own and must secure themselves.

The investment formalises the ongoing relationship between the two companies, and deepens joint development across the parties’ product lines: Flexxon’s X-PHY hardware security, and Tech4Biz’s Cloudtopiaa, its sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure platform.

X-PHY is Flexxon’s hardware-based cybersecurity brand. It puts AI-powered threat detection inside the drive’s own firmware and hardware, below the operating system. X-PHY’s hardware-based protection is designed to keep working even when the software above it has been compromised.

Cloudtopiaa designs, builds and operates public cloud, private cloud, HPC, GPU inference and AI data centre environments for organisations that want full control of their data, models and AI agents, in the jurisdiction they choose. 

Ms Camellia Chan, Co-founder and CEO of Flexxon, said: “Having worked with Tech4Biz for several years, I am glad to take this next step and deepen the partnership as we continue building towards more secure, more reliable standards together. We are building hardware that is secure by default, carrying that protection from devices into the servers and data centres enterprises now run themselves – the part of the stack where traditional security leaves the widest gaps.”

Ms Yasha Khandelwal, Co-founder and CEO of Tech4Biz Solutions, said, “When a company owns its whole AI stack, there is no hyperscaler behind it to absorb a mistake, so the design and the security have to be right from day one. We have spent years building and running sovereign infrastructure in production for enterprises and institutions, and bringing X-PHY into that design means every server we deliver will ship with protection built into the hardware itself.”

Where AI capability outruns protection

AI has quickly moved from pilots into systems that run on a company’s own data every hour of the day, and the data, models and agent memory involved are now among the most sensitive assets a company holds. More organisations want that capability on infrastructure they own, in the jurisdiction they choose. Accordingly, Gartner forecasts worldwide sovereign cloud infrastructure-as-a-service spending will reach US$80 billion in 2026, a 35.6 per cent increase on 2025, with mature Asia-Pacific markets among the fastest growing and governments the largest buyers. That shift moves the responsibility for securing the infrastructure back to the organisations running it.

These AI systems now work across enterprise data with valid credentials, often without a user approving each action. Software defences remain necessary, but they run on the same layers an attacker is trying to take over – and when those safeguards fail, there must be an immutable layer that protects the data.

What X-PHY and Cloudtopiaa will deliver

The parties will collaborate specifically on integrating Flexxon’s X-PHY hardware security expertise with Tech4Biz’s existing infrastructure capability through Cloudtopiaa, its cloud platform and infrastructure offering.

On the immediate horizon is the integration of X-PHY’s hardware security solutions into Cloudtopiaa environments, so that server estates are secured by default and protection arrives with the machine rather than being bolted on after. For enterprises, that means the security work no longer grows with every server added.

This includes the design, build and deployment of secure infrastructure that organisations can own and run outright. Development is already under way, with commercial deployment expected in 2027.

Cloudtopiaa already runs production workloads for customers including L&T Technology Services, which runs two production engineering platforms on it – a quality management platform for GxP-regulated industries and a multi-agent enterprise AI platform – and Cognitive PRISM. It is also building a three-year private cloud lab ecosystem for Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, Mysuru.

The partnership will focus first on governments, regulated enterprises, research institutions and data centre operators in Singapore, India and North America.
