Our CEO Andreas Raptopoulos and VP of Regulatory Strategy and Special Projects, Jim O'Sullivan, chatted with Ryan Macasero at The Mercury News about the upcoming launch of Matternet drone delivery services in Mountain View, CA. Andreas explains, “The key thing is that we want the city and residents to get excited about this service,” which will be offered at no cost during the initial phase of the pilot. We are grateful to have the support of community leaders including Mayor Pat Showalter who said she “welcomes Matternet’s drones as an addition to the city’s high-tech services available to the public” and that “it will certainly be helpful for residents,” and Mountain View Chamber of Commerce President Peter Katz, who said, “We are excited and looking forward to this kind of service coming here to serve residents who live in hard-to-reach places in the city.” We're looking forward to bringing the benefits of drone delivery home to the city of our HQ, and will be ready for takeoff soon.

We founded Matternet in 2011 in Silicon Valley, inspired from its rich history of world-changing innovation. Our journey led us to develop pioneering drone delivery technology that has served communities around the world. However, until now, we haven't had the opportunity to see our technology in action where we live and work every day. We’re incredibly excited to announce that we are preparing to launch our first-ever operation in Silicon Valley, starting right here in Mountain View, our headquarters city. Our CEO, Andreas Raptopoulos, tells the Mountain View Voice: “We have seen the benefit that this technology brings in other parts of the world. We’re extremely excited to bring it home.” We're delighted to bring the benefits of ultra-fast, emissions-free delivery to Mountain View residents. Our initial focus will be on delivering essential items like medicine and food. Community collaboration and feedback are paramount to us as we initiate and scale our service. Our drone delivery platform is safe, quiet and ensures privacy. Our platform is the only one in the world that has achieved Federal Aviation Administration Type Certification, the gold standard for aviation safety. Our drones don’t capture any images or footage, except for delivery confirmation and will operate only during daylight hours initially. Thanks to Emily Margaretten for covering this exciting development. https://lnkd.in/eiij9Ff3 #DroneDelivery #Drones #Innovation

We had a great time showcasing how migrolino AG delivers Frische im Anflug (Freshness on Arrival) in Zurich. Customers were able to order fresh food via app and receive it in minutes from a Matternet M2. Traditional delivery can’t match this speed and freshness! Thanks to all who joined us. Check out the video below to see it in action. Migros #Drones #DroneDelivery #innovation #FoodDelivery

Amazon’s announcement on its recent #BVLOS authorization outlines an ambitious goal – to fly 500 million #drone deliveries per year by the end of the decade. That’s more than 1 million deliveries daily. This decade, drone delivery will become mainstream. At #Matternet, we’re ready to drive this revolution. Our Matternet M2 platform stands alone as the world’s only Federal Aviation Administration Type Certified drone delivery system. With our BVLOS capability, approved in the U.S. since November 2023, and proven operational experience in the U.S. and Europe, we are well positioned. Join us as we redefine the future of delivery. https://lnkd.in/gg-yAmBw #DroneDelivery #innovation #logistics

Matternet builds and operates autonomous drone networks for fast, cost-effective and sustainable delivery of medical items and commercial goods in our cities and suburbs. Whether it's delivering a blood sample to a lab, dinner to a busy family, or a prescription to a customer’s home, Matternet is providing the technology to transform #healthcare and commerce #logistics in our communities. Three key technologies power Matternet’s networks: 1️⃣ The Matternet M2 #drone: The world’s only Federal Aviation Administration Type certified drone delivery system with over 50,000 flights over densely populated areas — flying BVLOS in the US and Europe since 2017. 2️⃣ The Matternet Station: The Station (pictured below) automatically loads packages into our drones and swaps their batteries. Stations outside hospitals or stores make it extremely simple to ship a package via the Matternet network. Departing from a Matternet Station, a Matternet M2 can deliver securely into another Station or directly to a customer's backyard without any physical infrastructure. 3️⃣ The Matternet Platform Software: Matternet’s proprietary software suite allows our airline partners to control flights and manage their drone fleets, and offers our customers a suite of applications for shipping and tracking. We are experienced, certified and ready for takeoff. Contact us to learn more at business@matternet.us. #DroneDelivery
