TORONTO — Canadian drone company Landing Zones has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Airbus Defence and Space for advanced uncrewed aerial systems.
The agreement includes an investment from Airbus and representation on Landing Zones’ board of directors.
Landing Zones will also serve as a dedicated representative for Airbus Defence and Space Services in Canada.
Financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
