With more than 24 years of trusted innovation, logistics, technology and customized solutions, Draganfly has earned its reputation as a global UAV leader. They offer out-of-the-box products and custom engineering to enhance the operations of a plethora of industries to improve their own services and operations. BIG was there every step of the way to bolster the elements Draganfly needed to launch and soar.

The challenge we were facing.

Draganfly Innovations encountered a series of challenges to become a leader in the professional drone industry, including navigating complex regulatory environments and operating within a market primarily characterized as consumer-oriented. Draganfly needed to become an enterprise-level provider and effectively manage the complexities of REG A financing, necessitating significant strategic efforts. Despite these obstacles, the company successfully reached a significant achievement by securing a listing on NASDAQ, establishing itself as a major player in the industry.

How our team tackled it.

BIG enhanced the scope of Draganfly with carefully curated strategic business development tactics.
A keen focus on the expanding plethora of service offerings and solutions was filtered and carefully integrated into a very demanding and thirsty marketplace.
A public offering for Draganfly stakeholders was prepared by BIG (a fin-tech pioneer) in Canada and US, as well as a REG A financing position before it was launched on the NASDAQ.

The difference we made.

Initially launched 30 years ago, Draganfly continues today to offer out-of-the-box products and custom engineering to enhance the operations of a plethora of industries to improve their own services and operations.

Draganfly is a publicly-listed company on the NASDAQ: DPRO.

We helped create a global leader in the UAV industry.

Draganfly stands as a pioneering force in the creation of advanced drone solutions, AI systems, and software, reshaping business approaches and stakeholder services. Draganfly has established itself as a leading innovator across various sectors worldwide, including public safety, agriculture, industrial inspections, security, mapping, and surveying. The company’s dedication to innovation can be seen in its products, such as its Heavy Lift Drone, Commander 3 XL, Precision Delivery System, Vital Intelligence technology, and Starling X.2.
