VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — In an exciting development for the future of autonomous logistics, blueflite, a leader in cutting-edge drone technology and winner of the GENIUS NY $1 million grand prize at the 2023 Pitch Finals, have announced a strategic partnership with DroneUp, one of America’s foremost autonomous drone delivery companies. This collaboration is set to redefine the standards of last-mile delivery services.

This new partnership comes after months of joint collaboration and on the heels of DroneUp’s recent unveiling of its innovative Drone Autonomous Ecosystem, a platform that promises to revolutionize the delivery industry.

“Our selection of blueflite as a partner was based on their profound innovation capabilities and technological excellence,” said John Vernon, DroneUp Chief Technology Officer. “Their vision aligns with ours, and we’re excited about the future of our collaboration, as it strengthens the backbone of our Drone Autonomous Ecosystem.”

This partnership comes at a time when drone delivery is on the rise across the United States and retailers, QSRs and c-stores look for new, innovative ways to put goods in their consumers’ hands at a fraction of the traditional delivery cost. Together, blueflite and DroneUp look to push the boundaries of what’s possible in drone delivery and autonomous logistics.
