One cool thing, just this week we announced a new national scale partnership with the government of Rwanda.
We're going to be dramatically expanding the number of use cases, building a new distribution center, and for the first time ever, Zipline is bringing its next generation technology, which we call Platform 2, to the continent of Africa.
Well, the great news is actually that the government is trying to accomplish a lot of things.
They're really focused on AI and
exports and commercial diplomacy.
This is the reason just five weeks ago, Zipline announced a $550 million total partnership with the State Department as well as all of our African country partners to basically make sure that the developing world is built on top of U.S.
AI and robotics infrastructure.
That's really good because it can make sure that these countries, it enables these countries to save money and save lives.
But it is also a key way of making sure that the U.S.
can maintain its manufacturing and technology leadership for the decade to come.
So Zipline is already working really closely on those initiatives.
This announcement with Rwanda would not have happened without that partnership from the U.S.
State Department.
