About Sky-Futures
Since 2009, Sky-Futures, headquartered in London, has been leading innovation in drone inspection and asset inspection services, providing remote survey and inspection solutions in over 45 countries across 5 continents. With more than 100,000 hours of operational flights conducted, Sky-Futures has established itself as a distinguished leader and pioneer in the space, catering to clients in the oil and gas, renewables, maritime, civil infrastructure, and telecommunications industries.

Across our operations in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, 2025 has been a year of expanding how and where we see. Our recent BVLOS operation in Africa was a double delivery, combining infrastructure integrity inspection with gas emission detection, marking a clear evolution in how we use drones: multi-mission, data-rich operations that strengthen both asset reliability and environmental performance.

Another key breakthrough has been our ability to combine above-ground, ground-level, and below-ground GIS (Geographic Information System) data into a single, actionable digital representation - transforming how critical infrastructure is monitored and maintained.

With industries accelerating their adoption of AI-enabled drone and risk management solutions, Sky-Futures is positioning itself as a key partner in driving safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations.
