Figurr Architects Collective and Aureum Mobility Partner to Advance Vertiport Infrastructure Across Canada

Bringing integrated droneport and vertiport planning, design, and deployment solutions to the Canadian market

Figurr Architects Collective is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Aureum Mobility, an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure company specializing in drone and vertiport technology and deployment. As Aureum’s architecture and Canadian technology distribution partner, Figurr will support the planning, design, and implementation of next-generation vertiport infrastructure across Canada.

By combining Aureum’s innovative infrastructure technology with Figurr’s internationally recognized aviation architecture expertise, the partnership supports the development of safe, sustainable, and scalable drone and vertiport infrastructure. Together, they will help communities, airports, developers, and public-sector organizations prepare for the next generation of air transportation.

Why This Partnership Matters

Advanced Air Mobility represents one of the most significant transformations in aviation since the introduction of commercial jet travel. Electric aircraft, drones, and autonomous aerial systems are moving rapidly toward commercial deployment, creating new opportunities for passenger transportation, emergency response, medical services, cargo logistics, and improved connectivity for remote communities.

While much attention has focused on the aircraft themselves, every successful AAM operation depends on the supporting infrastructure. Vertiports are far more than takeoff and landing sites—they are integrated mobility hubs that must safely accommodate aircraft operations, passenger movement, charging systems, maintenance requirements, and connections to surrounding transportation networks.

Through this partnership, Figurr and Aureum are helping Canadian communities prepare today for tomorrow’s transportation systems.

“Canada’s Advanced Air Mobility future depends on turning bold innovation into safe, inclusive, and operationally ready infrastructure. This partnership between Figurr and Aureum Mobility brings together the design expertise and technology leadership needed to help Canadian communities, airports, and industry prepare for the next era of aviation. At CAAM, we are eager to see the expertise of Figurr and Aureum help expedite solving the infrastructure challenges that we are facing en route to commercial operations in Canada.”

-JR Hammond, Executive Director, Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM)

Why Aureum Mobility

Aureum Mobility develops the technology and infrastructure that enable Advanced Air Mobility. Its modular vertiport and droneport systems, agnostic charging technology, and integrated operational solutions provide scalable infrastructure that can adapt to a wide range of aircraft manufacturers and operational requirements.

Designed to support projects ranging from rural drone operations to complex urban passenger networks, Aureum’s technology provides communities with flexible, future-ready infrastructure that can evolve alongside this rapidly advancing industry.

“Advanced Air Mobility will prove its value not where transportation options are already abundant, but where they are needed most. Canada’s vast distances, remote and underserved communities, and willingness to lead make it a defining test of whether this industry can serve everyone – not only a select few. Figurr brings the aviation experience and shared conviction needed to turn that promise into practical, accessible, and affordable infrastructure, community by community.”

-Anthony Colletti, AAM Specialist, Aureum Mobility

Why Figurr

Figurr Architects Collective’s expertise in designing complex aviation environments for airlines, simulator manufacturers, airports, defense organizations, and corporate flight training providers worldwide provides a strong foundation for supporting the next generation of aviation infrastructure. With a deep understanding of the operational, technical, regulatory, and human factors that define successful aviation facilities, the firm is well-positioned to help shape the future of Advanced Air Mobility.

For Figurr, Advanced Air Mobility is an opportunity to rethink how people, essential services, and goods move and connect. Canada’s vast geography, remote and Indigenous communities, world-class aerospace sector, and culture of innovation uniquely position it to lead the adoption of AAM technologies. By combining its aviation expertise with forward-thinking design, Figurr is committed to helping build the infrastructure that will enable this new era of sustainable, connected, and accessible air mobility.

“Advanced Air Mobility isn’t just about new aircraft—it’s about creating the infrastructure that allows these innovations to safely and seamlessly become part of our communities. Our partnership with Aureum Mobility brings together world-class vertiport technology and Canadian architectural expertise to help turn the promise of AAM into a practical reality.”
