The global leader in autonomous delivery

We believe in the seamless movement of products, in order to make life both easier and more convenient for people and businesses.

Starship Technologies is using autonomous delivery robots to revolutionise local delivery. Delivering items such as groceries, food takeaways and packages, Starship now operates in over 60 locations across the world.

Starship Technologies knows the autonomous delivery industry best, because we created it!

Launched in 2014 by Skype co-founders, Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, we now have delivery robots completing tens of thousands of autonomous deliveries every day.

Autonomous delivery is no longer a future concept - and we believe robots are a vital in solving last-mile delivery challenges. In total, Starship delivery robots have completed over 5 million autonomous deliveries - the first and only robot delivery company to do so!

Starship’s business headquarters are in San Francisco, the company also has engineering offices in Estonia & Helsinki and a UK presence including London and Milton Keynes.
