About this report
Introduction On a quiet morning in suburban Dublin, a drone ascends from a shopping center, zips above 70 feet and drops a paper bag via biodegradable tether into a back garden. Hardly anyone looks up . This unassuming scene is powered by Manna Aero – an Irish startup using autonomous drones to deliver food, medicines and everyday goods within minutes.
Founded by tech entrepreneur Bobby Healy in 2018, Manna has developed aviation-grade unmanned aircraft that fly at 80 km/h and complete deliveries in under three minutes within a 3 km radius . In just a few years, the company’s 23 kg quadcopters have carried out over 200,000 flights across Irish suburbs and even in Finland and the US .
