2. Enterprise/Business Software $970M (10% of the total)
3. PropTech/ RealTech/ Construction $683M (7% of the total)
4. MarTech/ EdTech/ SalesTech $672M (7% of the total)
5. BioTech/ MedTech $573M (6% of the total)

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity.
