Across the world, we speak to companies confident that adopting new drone capability will benefit their business, if only they could feel as confident in finding and integrating the best available solutions for them. Sound familiar?

Meanwhile, we are closely engaged with a multitude of companies developing highly innovative drone solutions, passionate about helping organisations to benefit from these.

Our mission is to close this gap, uniting those looking to maximise their benefits from drones, with those developing the best solutions for them. This means they can deliver their incredible services to society faster, cheaper, safer and more sustainably – whether that’s inspecting national infrastructure to keep our lights on or saving lives by finding new ways to reach people.

This is why we exist and why we're called Ajuno, which is based on the Latin for, 'to unite’ or ‘make one'.
