EXHIBIT 99.1
Solar Drone, a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of VisionWave Holdings, Inc., Reports Executive Meetings in Italy and Ongoing Business Development Discussions in Select Middle Eastern Markets
TEL AVIV, Israel, February 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Solar Drone, a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) and a provider of drone-based cleaning and maintenance solutions for solar power plants and high-voltage infrastructure, announced today that it is continuing business development discussions regarding possible opportunities in Middle Eastern markets, including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, following a series of executive meetings held last week in Naples, Italy.
The meetings were led by Solar Drone’s CEO, CTO, and COO, who met with leading prospective customers and partners from Egypt and the Emirates. These discussions followed successful live demonstrations in Italy, where Solar Drone’s drone-based cleaning operations are already deployed in active commercial environments.
During the demonstrations, the company showcased its patented high-pressure drone payload system, which enables fast, safe, and water-efficient cleaning of solar panels and electrical insulators without ground access, line shutdowns, or hazardous manual labor. Solar Drone’s technology is currently operating across multiple sites in Italy and continues to expand as demand grows.
“The Middle East represents an area of interest for the Company due to the growth in utility-scale solar and energy infrastructure. The recent meetings allowed for preliminary discussions with prospective customers and partners regarding possible pilot programs and other opportunities,” said Shmulik Yannay of Solar Drone.”
As utility-scale solar power expands, maintaining performance and grid reliability has become a priority for asset owners and utilities across the region.
Solar Drone’s aerial platform allows operators to maintain solar and high-voltage assets efficiently and safely, even in large or hard-to-reach installations. It is already in commercial use, delivering measurable results across multiple active sites.
Building on this momentum, Solar Drone is engaging with utilities, solar asset owners, and industrial partners to explore potential pilot programs, partnerships, and other initiatives in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and certain other markets.
