Advancing Drone Technology for Multiple Industries
Founded in 2016 by Maximilian Boosfeld, Basil Weibel, Elias Kleimann, and Sebastian Verling, the startup has developed advanced vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones known for their precision and reliability in capturing high-quality aerial data. These drones are widely used across various industries, including construction, mining, urban planning, agriculture, and forestry, providing survey-grade 2D and 3D maps that enhance decision-making.
Wingtra recently launched WingtraCLOUD, an integrated software solution designed to streamline mapping processes, improve collaboration, and boost productivity. This software, combined with the second-generation WingtraOne Gen II drone, is being used by hundreds of organizations globally, including prominent names like CEMEX, Rio Tinto, and the Kenya Red Cross.

The funding and strategic partnerships are expected to accelerate the company’s growth and further establish its presence in the global market.
With this latest investment, the swiss drone company is poised to continue its trajectory as a leading provider of cutting-edge drone solutions, helping professionals across the globe achieve more efficient and accurate surveying and mapping.
