Built to solve a problem the industry kept ignoring.
Dronet was not started because drones are an exciting technology. It was started because a very specific problem kept showing up, yet nobody was solving it properly.
“Data was being captured. Decisions were not being made.”
The Story
Our Why
Africa’s infrastructure and energy sectors continue to grow. Drone technology was available, but the gap between what drones can do and what organisations are actually getting from them is widening. Data was being captured. Decisions were not being made. Dronet Africa exists to close that gap.
The gap we saw
Most drone companies are good at flying. We are built for what comes after.
The drone industry in Africa has grown rapidly. But growth in capability has not always meant growth in value. Many providers can capture data. Far fewer can interpret it, contextualise it, and deliver findings that lead to immediate action. The problem is not the technology. It is the expertise behind it.
We are not just drone pilots, we are:
Thermographers
Trained to read and interpret heat signatures and surface faults.
Geospatial specialists
Skilled in mapping and measuring assets at scale with precision.
Structural analysts
Experienced in assessing asset condition and identifying deterioration early.
How we work
Focused on outcomes, not outputs.
Every engagement at Dronet starts with the problem, not the technology. We work to understand what an organisation is managing, where the risks lie, and what decisions need to be made. The result is not footage. It is findings your team can act on immediately.
Meet the Founder
Focused on outcomes, not outputs.
George brings a background in geospatial science and years of experience leading commercial drone operations across Africa. As the former CEO of a drone company, he built a front-row view of where the industry was falling short. Dronet Africa is the company he built to fill that gap.
