Manitoba Builds Future with Drone Library | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s construction scene is getting a high-tech makeover as the federal government drops over a million dollars to build a drone library for local firms—helping small businesses test cutting-edge tech without the hefty upfront cost. Part of a $10M national push to boost AI adoption and keep innovation in Canada, this initiative aims to level the playing field as other provinces leap ahead with drone-generated 3D scans. Led by the Manitoba Construction Sector Council, the program will let firms rent drones, explore their potential, and even research future drone manufacturing in the province by 2027. The move is expected to create 170 new jobs and empower dozens of SMEs, ensuring Manitoba stays competitive in a rapidly digitizing economy.
