An international guest on the podcast today with Ryan Walsh, Founder and CEO of Valqari. Ryan has a remarkable background and career, from the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq as a Ranger, to now the Founder and CEO of an innovative organisation looking to reimagine the last mile delivery. 

Since 2017, Valqari has been providing the missing piece in the drone delivery process. Their Drone Delivery Station provides a safe and secure landing area, removing the need for any sender or receiver to actually touch a drone.

During the podcast Andrew and Ryan talk about Ryan's background, where Valqari came from, barriers to adoption, use cases and what the future looks like.

** UK Tour, Leg 2 - Flare Bright **

On this episode on the Drones for Good podcast, we're headed on our second leg of our UK Tour! Today, Andrew speaks with Dr. Kelvin Hamilton (Chief Executive Officer) and Chris Daniels (Chief Commercial Officer) of Flare Bright. 

Flare Bright builds complex simulation models of the entire 3D aerial environment. They model all types of uncrewed aircraft that fly in them and use machine learning integrated with this to solve sensing, navigation, control and optimisation problems. This allows organisations to test and evaluate rapidly and solve problems in a simulator, not in the expensive real world. 

Andrew chats with Kelvin and Chris about all things business and start-ups, coupled with some in depth discussion around their specific products.
