Zipline

Zipline operates the world's largest autonomous drone delivery network, delivering medical supplies, blood products, vaccines, and consumer goods to communities in multiple countries across Africa, the United States, and other markets. The company's fixed-wing drones can make deliveries in minutes across distances of up to 100 miles, reaching areas that are difficult or impossible to serve with traditional logistics.

Zipline initially proved its technology by delivering blood and medical supplies in Rwanda and Ghana, where the drone network transformed access to life-saving medical products in rural areas. The company has since expanded to the United States, partnering with health systems like Intermountain Health and retailers like Walmart for commercial drone delivery.

The company has completed over 1 million autonomous deliveries and has raised over $850 million in funding. Zipline's latest Platform 2 droid system can deliver packages silently and precisely to homes and businesses, hovering above and lowering packages on a tether — solving the last-meter delivery challenge that has limited other drone services.
