Launch: Transforming Delivery by Wing CEO James Ryan Burgess
Episode details
Episode description
Wing, an Alphabet company that graduated from the X moonshot factory in July 2018, is transforming delivery. Wing has spent the last six years developing a fleet of small aircraft and an autonomous navigation system that can deliver food, medicine and other items minutes after they are requested. Drone delivery is not only safer, faster and more sustainable than ground delivery. At Slush, Wing CEO James Ryan Burgess will explain how soon personal airborne delivery could be coming to your doorstep, and what it could mean for our economy, our environment and our everyday life. -- In 2018, Slush brought together 20,000 attendees, including 3,100 startups, 1,800 investors and 650 journalists from over 130 countries. The cold and dark Helsinki welcomed these tech-heads to celebrate on Dec 3-5, 2018 with hundreds of side-events and activities around the city.
