Zipline

Zipline operates a global instant logistics and delivery system predominantly for delivering medicines and fulfilling commercial deliveries via drones. In 2016, the company began by delivering blood and medical products in Rwanda; it has since grown its delivery services to encompass a broad range of products including food, agriculture products, animal health products, and retail. Zipline describes itself as being comprised of two delivery platforms, one for “precise home delivery” and another for “long-range delivery”. As of March 2024, the company operates in the US, Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, and Japan, with plans to expand beyond this. As a Zipline representative told Contrary Research in March 2024, the company's mission “is to enable faster, more accessible, cheaper, zero-emission delivery solutions globally.”
