Hello there ,

Becoming a unicorn startup isn’t as rare an occurrence as it used to be. According to Wikipedia, when the term was first coined in 2013, there were only 39 companies that could claim the title. Now, it seems like a new unicorn pops up everywhere I turn. Building a billion-dollar company is an awesome achievement and a testament to how the tech and startup scene has grown globally.

As such, every startup ecosystem wants a few of these startups to call their own - and Malaysia is no exception. The country is looking to have five unicorns in its stables come 2025, and one of the likely candidates is drone tech startup Aerodyne. It’s certainly a prized jewel in Malaysia’s startup crown, but it’s also operating in an exciting space that’s starting to heat up.

The Malaysian drone tech specialist is having a growth spurt, even eyeing an IPO. But its dominance at home and in the region may soon be challenged.
