ZenaTech Launches Zena AI, Inc. to Boost U.S. Defense AI Development

On July 29, 2025, ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) announced the formation of Zena AI, Inc., an AI Development Center under its ZenaDrone US subsidiary. This new entity will focus on developing advanced artificial intelligence solutions specifically for the U.S. Department of Defense and Homeland Security agencies.

This move responds directly to the White House’s AI Action Plan and related Executive Orders issued on July 23, which set a clear agenda to accelerate American-made AI systems across federal and defense sectors while promoting global exports.

Focus and Objectives of Zena AI, Inc.

Zena AI will serve as ZenaDrone’s dedicated AI hub in the U.S., concentrating on next-generation technologies for military, homeland security, and allied missions. The center aims to enhance ZenaDrone's Inspection, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms by integrating sophisticated AI capabilities.

The initiative also involves expanding a team of American AI software engineers and experts to fast-track research, development, and commercialization of autonomous drone systems. This aligns with the broader goal of supporting domestic AI infrastructure and preparing solutions for future defense applications both domestically and internationally.

Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech, stated: “The AI Action Plan is a turning point for American innovation. By launching Zena AI Inc., we are focusing exclusively on autonomous drone technologies that will accelerate ZenaDrone’s R&D and revenue growth while reinforcing U.S. defense capabilities.”

Context: White House AI Action Plan

The White House’s AI Action Plan issued on July 23, 2025, emphasizes U.S. leadership in AI through priorities in innovation, infrastructure, and international AI exports. The accompanying Executive Orders require ideologically neutral AI for federal agencies, accelerate data center development, and encourage global deployment of American AI technologies.

This federal initiative signals a significant push to strengthen the domestic AI ecosystem and maintain competitiveness on the global stage.
