As the name implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for “property technology.” As simple as that is, the implementation and importance of PropTech is anything but, which is why many companies are trying to capitalize on the rapidly growing paradigm shift, while Universal PropTech (UPI:TSXV) is actually delivering healthy building solutions developers, owners and operators across Canada.
More than just lip service, UPI clients include
Federal Government facilities for over 40 years
Manulife
Brookfield
Billy Bishop Airport
University of Toronto
…. and many more
As a result, UPI has generated $35,000,000+ in revenue over the past 3 year – a number most small cap companies would be very happy with. But newly appointed Chief Growth Officer, Frank Carnevale sees a much bigger opportunity by winning exclusive licenses and partnerships with providers of great products that can significantly grow company revenues.
And that’s exactly what he has done. In the month of FEBRUARY alone, UPI has announced:
Agreement with LuminUltra Technologies to Provide SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Surface Testing
Channel Partnership with SensorSuite Inc. to Deliver AI Building Automation for MURBs and Non-BAS Customers
Exclusive Distributor Agreement for Eastern Canada for Canadian-Made Air Sanitization Solutions
How significant are these announcements and what do they mean to the Company’s growth?
Watch our interview with CGO Carnevale to learn about these and where UPI is going.

Every day approximately 10 people around the world lose their lives or are maimed due to an anti-personnel mine (” APM “). This means that about 4,200 people are hurt or killed worldwide every year of which 35-42% are estimated to be children. It is estimated that there are between 60-110 million landmines in the ground right now and an equal amount is in stockpiles waiting to be planted or destroyed. Approximately 82 countries around the world are contaminated by APMs. Source: United Nations, Office for Disarmament Affairs .
An estimated US$540,000,000 was spent by industry and government in 2018 to deal with this problem of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of war (identify multiple APM and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in a variety of terrain and contexts). Source: Landmine Monitor Report 2019 .
“Since 2020, Draganfly has invested in new capabilities in drone-based magnetometer technology and other remote sensing equipment,” commented Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman of Windfall Geotek. “The depth of the Draganfly engineering team, drone services group, and expert advisory in public safety was instrumental to get us to these first tests.”
“Windfall Geotek is the industry leader in AI-based digital exploration for mining. We now have the right mixture of equipment and data to move to the commercialization of an advanced AI-based platform to help solve the global problem of landmines,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “The two companies share a mission of saving lives through technology. These tests are critical to helping create a new solution to this age-old problem. The new and expanded revenue streams for both companies in the Defense sector, Public Safety, and other markets are significant and represent an area where combined offering can excel.”
“For years our foundation has support organizations removing land mines, this type of technology and innovation by Draganfly and Windfall is exactly what is needed to solve this global challenge on a massive scale,” said Admiral Hayward, former head of the US Navy and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
