Print PrintOverseas clients from Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia have visited the headquarters of Zhejiang Sky Grid in Taizhou Bay New Area, East China's Zhejiang province, exploring opportunities to deploy the company's autonomous low-altitude delivery solutions in international markets.
Since last year, Sky Grid has expanded its global footprint, building on the success of its autonomous food delivery project with Talabat, the Middle East's largest food delivery platform. The company has developed intelligent low-altitude logistics equipment tailored to overseas markets, supported by technologies recognized in international innovation competitions.
Talabat, which holds a 76 percent share of the United Arab Emirates food delivery market, partnered with Sky Grid to introduce an integrated "drone plus smart locker" delivery system. Launched in Abu Dhabi at the end of 2025, the project established a low-altitude logistics network serving business parks, universities, and residential communities.
The system features centimeter-level autonomous drone landing technology, temperature-controlled storage, IP56-rated dust and water protection, and 24-hour unattended operation. It reduces delivery times from around 40 minutes by road to less than 15 minutes while maintaining food quality in temperatures of up to 50 C.
According to Hong Jun, founder of the company, the visiting overseas delegations focused on autonomous delivery equipment and management systems for urban express delivery, industrial parks, and last-mile logistics applications.
