Description

From crispy French fries to critical medical supplies, one company is transforming how goods move around the world with autonomous drone delivery technology.


 


In 2016, Zipline began with life-saving deliveries of blood and medical products in Rwanda and has since evolved into a global network expanding access to healthcare, consumer goods, and food. Operating across four continents and completing a delivery every 60 seconds,
Zipline now serves more than 5,000 hospitals, retailers, and restaurants.


 


Listen in as we sit down with Keenan Wyrobek, Co-Founder and CTO, to explore how Zipline’s pioneering approach to drone logistics is saving lives, reducing emissions, and opening new doors for economic opportunity — one autonomous flight at a time.
