DroneTalks I How Switzerland enables innovation beyond traditional drone operations
“Switzerland is kind of the Silicon Valley of drones”, explained Herbert Weirather the CEO of the medical drone delivery start-up Jedsy in our recent interview. He told us how the Swiss mentality and the infrastructure help empower his team to move beyond traditional drone operations like package drop-offs in wide-open, potentially muddy areas (or even when it’s dark outside). Instead, he wanted higher-quality delivery standards for medical deliveries, which is why Jedsy developed window and balcony landing pads with a specialised mailbox on top of the drone, allowing hospital staff to access lab deliveries without leaving their area, eliminating the need for long walks or advance notifications.
