The funds will facilitate Dendra Systems' expansion into new markets and improve its AI-enabled platform, RestorationOS. This technology integrates high-resolution imagery and drone-based seeding to rehabilitate land across various environments, including arid, tropical, and coastal areas.

Since its founding in 2014, Dendra Systems has managed over 70,000 hectares and services major clients like Rio Tinto and BHP. The technology is seen as a transformative tool for environmental monitoring and large-scale restoration.
