About us
Zipline was founded to create the first logistics system that serves all humans equally. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges. Leveraging expertise in robotics and autonomy, Zipline designs, manufactures and operates the world’s largest automated delivery system. Zipline serves tens of millions of people around the world and is making good on the promise of building an equitable and more resilient global supply chain. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart and enabling leading healthcare providers to bring care into the home in the United States, Zipline is transforming the way goods move. By transitioning to clean, electric, instant logistics, we can decarbonize delivery, decrease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access for billions of people. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Zipline is inspiring people, governments, and businesses to imagine what is possible when goods can move as seamlessly as information.

To keep up with delivery demand, restaurants carefully plan everything from workflows and staffing to technology integrations. But even the best planning can't always overcome challenges like unpredictable order spikes, traffic delays, and driver shortages, which ultimately impact the bottom line and customer satisfaction. Read our analysis of the top challenges restaurants face in meeting customer expectations—and how Zipline’s drone delivery network overcomes them. https://bit.ly/3NTSsgA

Today there are about 2.25 million zero-dose children living in Nigeria, more than any other country in Africa. Families of zero-dose children also typically face the most difficulty accessing clean water, sanitation, nutrition, and healthcare. Our long-time partner Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance has a 2025 goal of reducing the number of children who have not received routine vaccinations by 25%. Together with Gavi and Nigerian State Ministries of Health, we will deliver more than 2.3 million vaccine doses to fully immunize more than 121,000 children in Nigeria over the next two years. Beyond routine vaccinations, we will provide additional care, including treatment for malnutrition, deworming medication, Vitamin A supplements, and family planning services. In partnership with Gavi, UPS Foundation, The ELMA Philanthropies, IFPW, and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, we are simultaneously raising immunization rates and improving access to primary healthcare. https://bit.ly/3Vv7PAo

Nigeria accounts for 27% of global malaria cases—the highest of any country. An estimated 76% of the population is at risk for contracting malaria by living in high transmission areas and it’s the leading cause of death among children five and under. These are preventable deaths. Today we’re partnering with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and Nigerian State Ministries of Health to tackle this public health crisis together. Starting last week, Zipline is delivering RTS,S malaria vaccines by drone directly to health facilities and community-based delivery points across Bayelsa State.

Restaurants are busy, complex spaces where every inch matters. As I work with partners to integrate drone delivery at their restaurants, we’ve all got one goal top of mind: minimize disruption and maximize efficiency. That’s why our UX designer Elizabeth Trimble analyzes foot traffic patterns. Videos like this help in assessing how kitchen workflows and restaurant spaces can adapt to new technology. Pizzas are already flying in this kitchen. Soon they’ll be (literally) flying out the door. For more insights into Lizzie's approach and how we're working with restaurants to meet their unique challenges, read our latest article on the Zipline blog: https://lnkd.in/gP7uQqJD

At the HNGRY Summit, I had the chance to discuss how Zipline is integrating drones into restaurant workflows for efficient, sustainable meal delivery. Automation in restaurant delivery is solving real challenges, from reducing errors to cutting CO2 emissions. Excited to see how these technologies continue to evolve. #automation #foodtech #lastmiledelivery #sustainability #Zipline https://lnkd.in/gQpAYGSD

Program expansion alert! Together Elton John AIDS Foundation and Zipline have already helped over 55,000 young people in Kenya access HIV screening and preventative care—now, we’re expanding to use Zipline’s drone technology in Nigeria to deliver HIV care to youth in even more locations.
Over the last two years, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Zipline have partnered in Kenya to help more than 55,000 young people access HIV screening and preventative care. Now, we’re expanding to Nigeria, where over 1.9 million people are living with HIV, and young people aged 15-24 account for 41% of new cases. This new program will use Zipline’s drone technology to deliver HIV care to youth in unconventional locations, helping close critical gaps in accessing physical and mental health services.

After more than five years of partnership and 15.5 million vaccine doses delivered, we've launched a new program with the Ministry Of Health, Ghana, Ghana Health Service, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance to bring millions more vaccine doses to underserved communities in Ghana. In addition to increasing vaccination coverage by 25 percentage points, this program will help scale the rollout of new vaccines like RTS,S malaria and conduct groundbreaking research on impact and cost. You can learn more about what we plan to accomplish in this video from the program kickoff celebration. Here’s to a future where vaccines reach everyone, everywhere—on time. #VaccinesForAll #ZiplineGhana #HealthcareInnovation #DroneDelivery
