Sentera Receives 2016 Tekne Startup Award
Sentera has received the 2016 Tekne Startup Award from the Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA). The Tekne Awards recognize Minnesota-based companies that make significant impacts in different arenas such as technology, healthcare and workforce development.
In a statement on the Tekne Awards Website, the MHTA said, “unlike most UAV companies, Sentera products are being used today by real people to solve real problems. With more than 200 years of combined remote sensing and UAV experience, Sentera is defining the industry through actions, not words.”
Upon receiving the award, Sentera CEO Eric Taipale said via press release, “we are so honored to be recognized by the MHTA with the Tekne Startup Award. We believe we’re solving real problems and love the fact that we get to make a difference in how our customers do business. It is an incredibly rewarding endeavor and the entire team contributes to our success.”
Sentera is based in Minneapolis, MN, and specializes in making UAS with top notch aerial photography and data collection capabilities. While the company creates UAS for a variety of customers, it has a special interest in helping to alleviate world hunger, by providing UAS that can help with agriculture through precision-sensing.
Sentera recently passed a significant milestone, as its equipment has captured more than 25 million acres of images.
