After the start of the AI revolution, the next technological leap is already waiting for the world: Quantum computers.

A team from Google claims to have already solved a major problem for researchers and created the first real hype on the stock markets. But the race has only just begun. Europe, China and the USA are fighting for technological leadership. The technology giants are at the forefront, but there are also small players.

Brave New Quantum World

It's like in many areas: The USA, China and Europe are fighting for technological leadership in many areas: From biotechnology to computer chips to autonomous vehicles. Sometimes one is better off, sometimes the competition is.

The battle is particularly fierce in quantum technology. After all, a breakthrough and supremacy in quantum computers could give us a major competitive advantage. In the brave new quantum world, quantum chips are hundreds of thousands of times faster than previous products, communication networks become tap-proof, drones packed with quantum technology relieve people in agriculture of difficult work and quantum sensors with previously unimagined capabilities enable completely new applications such as brain scanners for your pocket.

The Future Traded on the Stock Exchange

It's all still a dream of the future, but many things are now emerging. And right in the middle of it all is a competition between the technology superpowers USA, China and the European Union. China is said to have launched a program worth 15 billion US dollars. The Europeans, on the other hand, are holding more than 9 billion euros in funding from Brussels and the individual member states. The USA traditionally relies more on the private sector. Google and IBM, which have pumped billions into this technology and are regarded as global leaders, are considered to be the leaders here. The Alphabet subsidiary Google also caused the first real quantum hype on the stock market. The Californian company announced that it had solved the previously serious problem of error correction in quantum chips. As a result, many quantum shares on the Nasdaq and elsewhere multiplied within a few days in November and December of last year. The first boom had begun! And, as we all know, the future is traded on the stock exchange!

Google, IBM and Zenatech

Google shares, which have long been overshadowed by Nvidia, Apple and the like, have been on a roll ever since. It reached a new all-time high and is currently trading only slightly below it.

ZenaTech (USD 6.04, CA98936T2083) could also be one of the beneficiaries of this hype. The company, which is listed on the Nasdaq, is still largely unknown among German investors. Unlike many drone companies, the company has strong roots and skills in enterprise SaaS software area that they leverage to design and manufacture their drones. Theyoffers drones that are equipped with AI and in addition, the company also announced work on a quantum computing project looking into drone swarms for applications like traffic management and wildfire management that need the advanced processing of data to take today’s solutions to the next level. , . So far, its customers have mainly been companies and government organizations for their enterprise software solutions, and they are focused on defense and agriculture, and logistics and warehouses for their drone technology solutions. Recently, ZenaTech took another step towards NDAA (National Defense Act Administration) compliance for its entire supply chain through annoucing the development of cameras, sensors and compent parts will come from US-friendly country Taiwan through their Spider Vision Sensors subsidiary.. The company has stated that it and plans to apply for Green UAS and Blue UAS in order to be on the supplier list for the US defense complex and NATO.

ZenaTech Expansion in the USA

The company plans on expanding rapidly in the USA. Most recently, the subsidiary ZenaDrone moved into a new facility in Arizona where it plans to produce drones for the US Department of Defense and NATO. In addition, the company has already expanded its market position through two acquisitions in the field of land surveying. It plans to combine the precision and speed of drones to innovate the process of land surveys. Further it plans to use this as the first stage of it’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) national business model where it will offer convienence and low cost accsibility of drones for muliple uses occasional uses to business and government, such as for precision agriculture, power line inspections etc.

The company is positioned to benefit from the growing restrictions on Chinese drones and component parts in the US. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce is examining a new regulation to ban Chinese drones in the United States of America due to national security concerns. To date, Chinese companies, in particular the industry giant Dai-Jing Innovations (DJI), have a market share of over 75 percent of the US drone market. Their share of privately used hobby drones is even more than 90 percent. A ban on the products of these companies would completely turn the industry upside down in the US market and create a huge vacuum.

The ZenaTech share is mainly traded on the Nasdaq. Recently, there has been profit-taking here after the share price multiplied at times. However, with a market capitalization of around EUR 100 million, ZenaTech is still a small cap on the technology exchange. In addition to organic and inorganic growth, politics and technological breakthroughs in drones, AI and quantum computers could also provide new impetus in the coming months.
