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.

Healthcare leaders can invest in a range of technologies to improve the patient experience, and autonomous drone delivery is about to play a major role in shaping our systems. Our healthcare partners estimate that autonomous drones can: - Reduce delivery costs by up to 50% - Improve home healthcare productivity by 20% - Accelerate the turnaround time for diagnostic results by 2-5x And all this is done in a minimally disruptive way that improves the patient experience. https://bit.ly/3XgjDaY

At last week's National GHS Research Conference, Zipline's government research partners debuted a study we co-authored with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) about the impact of drone logistics on maternal health outcomes in the Ashanti Region. The study found that Zipline reduced maternal mortality by a staggering 56.4%, increased prenatal visits by 19.9%, and increased in-facility births by 25%. This was achieved not only because Zipline and the GHS made blood available on-demand, but because more regular availability of medical supplies increased patient confidence in the health system, causing mothers to visit health facilities more often for care needed throughout their pregnancies.

"When snowy and icy roads are too dangerous to drive and someone has an emergency requiring a life-saving product, that’s when people need us the most." Our P2 Zips are tested under extreme temperatures to ensure they can deliver under any circumstance. Take a look at our Wyoming testing site and learn more from Zipline engineer Gustavo Fujiwara and our test site team about the design changes we've made in our newest blog post. https://bit.ly/3WTKPei

"Before the commencement of Zipline’s drone deliveries to Tama, nurses here needed to undertake a two-hour return trip by motorbike to fetch the vaccines... leaving just one nurse in the facility.” Counties in western Kenya are utilizing Zipline to centralize vaccines and deliver them on demand, creating a greater assurance of stock availability. This means patients can receive vital vaccinations on time, and health workers can focus on providing care. Learn more about our impact with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance in this post.
From rabies post-exposure prophylactics to measles and malaria vaccines, #drones are getting life-saving shots to kids in the hardest-to-reach areas of western Kenya. Discover how this technology is changing lives:

We’ve leveraged our expertise and learnings from flying 80 million commercial autonomous miles to make the entire industry safer, scalable, and more efficient. The @FAA recently approved our UTM system—the first approval of its kind—which means even more Americans will be able to have fast, safe, efficient drone delivery. #SustainableDelivery #LogisticsInnovation #FutureOfDelivery
In a first for U.S. aviation, the FAA has authorized Zipline and Wing to operate drones beyond visual line of sight in the Dallas, TX area, using technology that allows them to deliver packages while keeping their drones safely separated.

Zipline and the Ministry Of Health, Ghana gathered in Kumasi last week to recognize five years of impactful partnership, which has boosted vaccination coverage in the country and saved more than 6,300 Ghanaian lives. Together with the Ghana Health Service, we unveiled research conducted in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study, currently under peer review, finds that on-demand delivery of blood and essential medical products has saved lives and boosted confidence in the health system, causing more pregnant mothers to seek care at facilities and a 56.4% decrease in maternal deaths. Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, Presidential Advisor on Health, beautifully says, “Zipline’s collaboration with the Government of Ghana is a clear example of how public-private partnerships can transform health delivery across a nation, saving thousands of lives.” Access links to the study and our annual impact report to learn more about our impact in Ghana in the comments.
