Stellenbosch, South Africa Cloudline Full time

Despite leaps in drone technology, last-mile aerial operations remain expensive and complex. For most developing nations, last-mile logistics remains one of the most challenging hurdles
- making entire communities inaccessible to world markets and depriving them of essential goods.

Cloudline is an African-founded start-up that designs and manufactures autonomous, solar-powered airships that can carry larger payloads at a fraction of the cost of all drone technology currently available worldwide

To date, Cloudline has raised over $4 million to develop its technology, grow local talent and ramp up production for its first customers in Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa. Using a model to train and recruit local talent in each customer country, Cloudline is making aerospace careers a viable option for all young talented youth in Africa while opening the world to vibrant yet underserved African communities.
