Company Introduction
Bringing life closer
to the imaginable future.
TOMPLA is a company that realizes a coexistence society of drones and people.
We deliver peace of mind to society by functioning as a point of contact between businesses and people, aiming to achieve the coexistence society of drones and robotics.
Drones, by flying in the sky instead of humans, liberate us from physical constraints. They enable efficiency and turn the impossible into possibilities, ultimately contributing to human happiness.
TOMPLA’s main social mission is to build the foundation of society, which businesses and people feel comfortable, for the next generations.
Empowering
the field with DRX
The future frontier lies in implementing drones and robotics in on-site work.
We redefine non-desk work involving danger and heavy labor as tasks that presuppose collaboration with drones and robotics.
In 2030, the focal point of labor shortage will be in on-site jobs of
non-desk workers.
By 2030, among the 39.27 million non-desk workers,
in the fields of logistics, manufacturing, and infrastructures (electricity, gas, and water),
it is projected that there will be a shortage of approximately 660,000 workers.
Projected Impact
660,000 workers ×
¥5.1M average annual income =
¥3.4T
With the ongoing transformation of desk work,
DRX (Drones and Robotics Transformation) for the 7 million shortages in non-desk workers is becoming a vast frontier.

When you were a child, you may be imagined a future where cars would fly through the sky and a variety of robots would coexist with humans when you grow up in the 21st century.
However, there's a famous quote, 'We wanted flying cars, but all we got was 140 characters,” reflecting the current 21st century. Through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, many issues Japan has faced become apparent, particularly the shortage and workload burden on essential workers who support the front lines.
TOMPLA team is committed to building a bridge between the imaginable future envisioned in childhood and the present by creating new jobs that collaborate with drones and robotics.
