Terra Drone acquires <\/strong>significant <\/strong>stake in Inkonova.<\/strong>
\nTerra Drone, a leading global commercial drone technology company , acquires a significant stake in Swedish aerial robotics for underground mining startup, Inkonova AB.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTokyo, Oct, 11 2018 – Terra Drone\u2019s UAV inspection, survey, and other service provisions cover various industries globally including mining; Inkonova\u2019s main market.
\nThe deal is comprised of a cash injection, changes to the management team, as well as technical, business development, and operational collaborations.
\nAhmed AlNomany, InkonovaAB Cofounder and CEO stated, “We feel reinforced, a sort of graduation. Terra Drone’s global network of clients, post-processing domain, service-based business model, customer experience, technical personnel, and human and financial resources will help us dramatically ramp up our business development and commercial-readiness efforts, taking our technology to the next level”
\nInkonova will supply Terra Drone with its UAV core technology, including anti-dust and waterproof platforms (as in the TILT Ranger) and infrastructure-denied autonomous navigation (as in the Batonomous), while Terra Drone, \u00a0apart from financing, Terra Drone will employ its global clients, local offices, pilots, post-processing capacity, and broader commercial and technical domain expertise.
\nMr.Toru Tokushige, Founder and CEO of Terra Motors Corporation and Terra Drone Corporation, who will be appointed as a board member, stated, \u201cIt is a prerequisite to rapidly expand the integration of mining field services with other reliable Terra Drone partners based around the globe.. Underground mining still has huge issues, according to the statistisc from <\/em>The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the number of lost-time injuries in 2015 was 4,517 in America, and those of other developing counties were incomparably high. So, I hope the <\/em>cooperation between Terra Drone, with its broad network and <\/em>innovative technologies and Inkonova, the eminent company for <\/em>mining drone services contributes to the rapid and <\/em>further<\/em> technical improvements for underground safety and productivity<\/em>.\u201d
\nIn line with the partnership, Inkonova\u2019s products will undergo rebranding to streamline with Terra Drone products, details of which will be announced later this month.
