There's a less familiar story about covid-19

...with the emergence of brand new ideas...

...and with the application of existing ones...

The crisis has caused an acceleration in adoption of technologies

This is pushing the world further into the future...

We've had to build more aeroplanes than we ever have before

Another hammer-blow to Britain's retail sector

This upsurge in innovation will bring lasting change…

…as the world looks towards the post-pandemic era?

There is an opportunity for innovation…

Drone technology has been around for a while…

…it's starting to realise its considerable potential

…as a new and better way to deliver products…

…such as blood, cancer treatments and vaccines

Every hospital system and health system on Earth…

…is suddenly trying to reconfigure itself to a new reality…

…to extend the reach of the hospital system…

…enabling care closer to where patients live…

…and the patient takes less risk of getting infected…

…Zipline delivered more than 100,000 medical products…

…as many as over the previous three years

...has come in countries with strict airspace laws

In May 2020, an emergency licence was issued in America…

…allowing Zipline to fly long-range delivery drones…

…through controlled airspace for the first time

And in December, American regulators issued new rules…

…allowing drones to fly over people, and at night

This looser approach is accelerating the shift…

…towards more states receiving medical supplies…

…in a more efficient and productive way

…that previously thought they had ten years…

Although drone-filled skies are some way off…

…covid-19 has also accelerated the conversation…

…around the use of drones beyond health care…

Zipline has partnered with retail giant Walmart

…due to begin trial deliveries of consumer products

I think it's been really easy for people to understand the value…

…and there's a pretty intense sense of civic pride…

…in terms of showing how this new technology can save lives

This kind of rapid adoption of emerging technologies...

...has been called “tech-celeration”...

...that has been given the biggest boost...

…was what happened in the National Health Service in England…

…where a system to make possible video-calling…

…was effectively built over a weekend…

…and then rolled out to doctors across the country
