Drones Proving a Lifeline in Rwanda

from IMF Podcasts

There are many layers to development. Sometimes there's a need where the solution is not at all obvious. But other times it's simply about connecting the dots- when the solution is available but out of reach due to the lack of infrastructure like roads, power lines or telephone wires. Technology is helping connect those dots more than ever before, and the phenomenon has come to be known as leapfrogging. In this podcast, we hear from the people behind Zipline, a start-up that uses drones to make emergency blood deliveries to remote clinics in Rwanda. Keller Rinaudo, Founder and CEO of Zipline, and Matthew Steckman, Chief Revenue Officer.
