How important are delivery drones?
Recently an Africa focused company Jumia teamed up with the San Francisco based Zipline to deliver household items to secluded parts of Ghana
Zipline will provide its on demand delivery system and Jumia will use its distribution network for the goal to be achieved.
Consumers in these areas will be able to purchase electronics, cosmetics and fashion items, among other products.
Drone deliveries especially became important as a medium to deliver medical supplies and vaccines during the covid 19 pandemic, as many countries looked for alternate ways to reach people in difficult areas.
Many companies like Amazon, UPS and Fed EX are now looking to expand their use of drone deliveries for a larger range of products.
Drone deliveries do show potential to become of significant use and some have even referred to them as “the future of logistics.”
But will they be sustainable?

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.
The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.
SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.
The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.
The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.
Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
