Villepinte, April 22, 2026

DRONE VOLT, a French manufacturer of professional drones and a leading technology player in aerial robotics, announces its intention to expand its operations in France and internationally to meet the growing demand for its services.

The start of 2026 marked by a sharp rise in service activity

Building on a first quarter of 2026 marked by strong growth in its high-margin businesses[1] (+80% compared to the first quarter of 2025 for DRONE VOLT FACTORY, SERVICES & ACADEMY), DRONE VOLT intends to continue this positive trend by expanding its capacity in France and internationally to meet the increasingly strong demand for its services.

All operational indicators point to a rapid ramp-up of these activities, notably:

• an increase in missions involving critical infrastructure;
• the ramp-up of existing contracts;
• the gradual expansion into new markets.

A focus on energy infrastructure, a key growth driver

Energy infrastructure has emerged as the primary driver of growth for DRONE VOLT's service activities, in an environment marked by growing challenges related to network security, the energy transition, and the modernization of critical assets.

Operations related to the inspection and monitoring of electrical grids continue to grow strongly, driven by security needs, grid modernization, and challenges related to the energy transition. In this context, drone-based solutions help improve safety, reduce intervention costs, and optimize data collection and analysis.

The development of innovative solutions such as LineDrone is a key driver, particularly for work on live power lines and the installation of DLR (Dynamic Line Rating) sensors, enabling real-time monitoring of these critical facilities.

Capacity expansion and increased international deployment

Against this backdrop of significant growth, DRONE VOLT is preparing to strengthen its internal and external resources through both targeted hiring and external growth initiatives. The goal is thus to expand the operational capabilities of the Group's “ ” and to extend its service reach beyond France, leveraging local expertise while ensuring the Group's quality and safety standards are maintained.

Marc COURCELLE, CEO of DRONE VOLT, states: “The start of 2026 confirms the growth of our service activities, driven by strong commercial momentum. This trajectory illustrates the relevance of our positioning in critical infrastructure and the strength of our service model. We are approaching the remainder of the fiscal year with confidence, driven by strong demand, key contracts, and the development of innovative, high-value-added solutions.”
