Autonomous drone delivery startup Manna plots major U.S. expansion

Irish autonomous drone delivery startup Manna is establishing a US operations and manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The center will eventually employ approximately 1,000 people over several years. Funded by $50 million in venture capital, Manna aims to compete with Zipline and Wing. Construction is currently underway, and manufacturing is expected to begin in about a year. This expansion marks a major strategic move for the company to scale its presence within the United States.
