DJI (Da-Jiang Innovations)
The Future of Possible
DJI (Da-Jiang Innovations Science and Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese technology company headquartered in Shenzhen, widely recognized as the world's leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology. The company has revolutionized multiple industries including agriculture, filmmaking, construction, search and rescue, energy infrastructure inspection, and more through its innovative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology.
Company History
Founded in 2006 by Frank Wang (Wang Tao) in a dorm room at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, DJI started as a small startup focused on developing flight control systems. The company's breakthrough came with the release of the Phantom series in 2013, which made professional-quality aerial photography accessible to consumers and professionals alike. Since then, DJI has continuously innovated, releasing industry-leading products across consumer, professional, and enterprise segments. The company's agricultural division emerged as a response to the growing need for precision farming solutions, with the Agras series becoming the world's most popular agricultural drone platform.
👤 Founder Story
Frank Wang (Wang Tao) founded DJI in 2006 at age 26 while still a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Born in Hangzhou, China in 1980, Wang developed a passion for remote-controlled helicopters as a teenager. His early attempts to build helicopter control systems in his university dorm room laid the foundation for what would become DJI. Despite initial struggles and near-bankruptcy, Wang's unwavering vision and technical expertise drove the company forward. His perfectionist approach to engineering and insistence on vertical integration - controlling everything from chip design to manufacturing - became core to DJI's success. Today, Wang remains CEO and majority shareholder, maintaining a low public profile while continuing to drive the company's innovation agenda. His journey from a student tinkering with flight controllers to leading a company that dominates the global drone market exemplifies the potential of focused technical excellence and persistent innovation.
