Drone logistics take flight in Finnish-Irish research push

What started with groceries could soon be delivering life-saving supplies. Manna Air Delivery and Finnish research powerhouse VTT have teamed up to unlock the next frontier of urban logistics—safe, scalable drone transport for both commercial and critical public services.

Already proven in real-world grocery deliveries, Manna’s tech is now being tested for more complex missions—like moving medical samples between hospitals. The collaboration also explores how drones and ground robots can work in tandem, streamlining last-mile delivery in suburban and urban environments.

This isn’t theoretical. With 200,000+ flights under its belt, Manna is scaling across Northern Europe, and the insights from Finland’s rigorous, real-world trials could shape future-ready logistics across the continent.
