Drone Delivery Canada is a disruptive, pioneering, technology company focused on designing, developing and implementing commercially viable, drone-based logistics systems for government, commercial, industrial, & retail customers globally. The Company’s patented, fully-integrated hardware/software platform is used in a managed service business model.
