About Us

A passionate team committed to developing powerful solutions using drone technology

Who We Are

Astral DeepTech is an emerging startup which is the data affiliate of Astral Aerial Solutions. Our initial focus is in Kenya and particularly the agriculture sector, where we provide data driven solutions using collected drone data.

 

Our goal is to support stakeholders such as farmers, bankers, insurance companies, offtakers, governments, regulators and many others who strive to gain an understanding of what happens on the ground, to monitor and de-risk their own interventions and interests.
