WATCH: The Wingcopter drone distributes vaccines by air. The German start-up has had run trials in Africa, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia, and aims to scale up operations to deliver vaccines to millions of people

The company, based in Weiterstadt, is working on a number of trial projects for countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, aiming to scale up operations to deliver vaccines to millions of people, Chief Executive Tom Pluemmer told Reuters.

“COVID is now making it necessary to build it out fast, but once it’s there we will have a new type of infrastructure that could carry things like medication, blood, lab samples and even normal daily goods,” he told Reuters on Monday. Wingcopter said it has secured $22 million in Series A funding to help to set up the logistics infrastructure needed to distribute COVID-19 vaccines and ramp up drone production.
