This investment signals confidence in the company’s mission to help farmers around the world save time and resources by automating their crop production. With a growing global population and an increase in food demand, Terra Drone is poised to revolutionize the way farmers produce crops.

The rapid expansion of drone technology in Saudi Arabia is part of the country’s official “Vision 2030” plan to reduce its dependence on hydrocarbons and promote the use of drones in services. For example, fossil fuel companies in Saudi Arabia will utilize Terra Drone’s technology for inspection services. Drones are supposed to detect things like oil leakage. Saudi Aramco is the world’s largest oil producer and plans to increase fossil fuel production in coming years despite scientific consensus that such activities are wrecking the Earth’s climate
Saudi Arabia has been working on a plan to rebrand the country as a global center for innovation, and they believe that drones are an important part of this shift.

Terra Drone, one of the startup companies who participated in the program, is excited about the prospects for growth in Saudi Arabia and plans to expand its operations there.
