Beyond drones: How we're committed to sustainability in every journey At Wingcopter, we believe that sustainability is more than just a goal – it’s a responsibility. With our all-electric delivery drones, we can offset a significant portion of the CO2 emissions from ground-based transportation, helping the logistics industry on its path to net-zero. But we know it takes more than innovative products to drive meaningful change. 🚲 That’s why we proudly joined the CITY CYCLING initiative in our municipal (Weiterstadt), where 11 of our colleagues pledged to cycling as many daily journeys as possible over a 21-day period. This challenge not only encouraged environmentally friendly commuting but also aimed to highlight the needs of cyclists and promote better local cycling infrastructure. 📊 The result? Together with other teams from Weiterstadt, a total of 73,510 kilometers were cycled, avoiding an equivalent of 12 tons of CO2! What an achievement! 🌳 At Wingcopter, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we act on it. From corporate bike leasing to free electric vehicle charging at the office, we are committed to creating a cleaner, greener future in every way we can. #Wingcopter #Sustainability #CityCycling #Cycling #DroneDelivery #Logistics #SustainableLogistics #Teamspirit Thanks to our cyclists Corinna, Thomas, Konstantin, Philipp, Patrick, Paul, Eike, Esma, Andreas, Kevin and Miguel.

HACK of a Team Back in 2018, Wingcopter pioneered the delivery of children’s vaccines by drone in Vanuatu. Several other world-firsts followed in the subsequent years. Pioneering and innovation have always been a part of our DNA and have allowed us to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly emerging & developing industry. The Wingcopter Innovation Hackathon was introduced as a 24-hour sprint where multi-disciplinary teams work together to hack drone-specific challenges, including advanced computing and measurement solutions powered by NVIDIA's cutting-edge technology. Once more, it is rewarding to experience the power of cross-functional collaboration, team spirit, exceptional engineering talent – and a good Chili con Carne prepared by our Heads of Engineering and Software. #Wingcopter #InnovationDay #Hackathon #Innovation #Innovate #NVIDIA #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork #Deliverydrone

Today, we showcased our solutions at the ISG World Conference of Gerontechnology in Frankfurt. The conference deals with all kinds of technological innovations in products and services that address older peoples’ ambitions and needs. In his keynote, Benjamin Pahlich talked about how delivery drones can help supply elderly, less mobile people in rural areas with much needed goods such as medicines or even groceries, using our recent LieferMichel pilot project in the German Odenwald region as an example. Among others, Hessian Minister Prof. Dr. Kristina Sinemus from Hessisches Ministerium für Digitalisierung und Innovation and Prof. Dr. Kai-Oliver Schocke, President of Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, later visited our booth to learn more about our technology and services. #ISG2024 #Gerontechnology #AgingInnovation #FrankfurtConference #SeniorCare #DigitalHealth #AgeWithDignity #Wingcopter #Wingcopter198 International Society for Gerontechnology (ISG)

Happy World Entrepreneurs' Day! 🎉 👟 Every journey starts with a first step. And then a second step. And then a third, followed by countless others that you need a lot of courage for, as well as determination, creativity, and vision. 🚁 ✈️ The Wingcopter journey started around 2012 when Jonathan Hesselbarth began to develop the first prototypes of what would later be known as the Wingcopter drone. In 2015, he met Tom Plümmer and they immediately decided to join forces. In 2017, they were joined by Ansgar Kadura, and Wingcopter was formally founded as a company. 🏅 We’ve come a long way since then. We are a global team of 150 passionate coworkers, we have achieved significant milestones on our way to revolutionize logistics on the most challenging miles of transport, and we have already made a positive impact on many lives around the world. Two of our most recent milestones included the BOM freeze for the Wingcopter 198 (see https://lnkd.in/eRbw4pSC) and the initiation of the type certification process for the Wingcopter 198 in Japan (see https://lnkd.in/eeN3dtA2). 🏁 A lot of work and milestones are still remaining. Today though, we pause for a second to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship. #worldentrepreneursday #entrepreneurship #founding #startup #Wingcopter #dronedelivery #drones4good
