The Starship team is at VivaTech this week in Paris, from June 17-20! ๐ซ๐ท๐ค
Most autonomous delivery companies are still figuring out how to cross a road safely. We've done it 200 million times.
We have tried, tested - and most importantly proven - that this solution works on real streets, in real weather, across 300+ locations for over a decade, 10M+ times.
You can't just train a robot in a lab and send it into the real world: believe us, weโve tried. What actually matters to build scale, is testing it in a real, messy environment, with real situations and interactions: a wheelchair at an intersection, snow on the sensors, a child coming out of nowhere.
This dataset took us over 11 years, training our AI models day in and day out.
The result?
Starship is the only sidewalk autonomous delivery solution that is proven and deployed at scale today:
โ 125,000+ road crossings every single day
โ Vision-based localisation accurate to within an inch, no LiDAR required
โ All-weather operation (yes, even snow โ๏ธ)
โ Robots learn from every single journey
This is what a Physical AI that is proven at scale *actually* looks like.

The Starship team is at VivaTech next week, June 18-20th, in Paris.
The future of urban delivery is real, and itโs rolling down your street.
Our CEO and Co-founder Ahti Heinla takes the stage at VivaTech on June 19th to share what a decade of building real-world autonomous robots has actually looked like.

๐ฌThe Robot that Rolls: Defining the Rules of Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery
Speaking of rolling robots, our little delivery guys will also be taking part in the Robotics Parade on June 20th ๐ค
Coming to VivaTech?
Weโll see you there! ๐๐ผ

This week, we're at @ShopTalk in Barcelona, the biggest conference in the retail industry of Europe.
In the last 11 years, weโve made huge progress in justifying the value for robotics delivery for Grocery Chains.
Labour costs don't shrink just because the delivery distance does. Short-radius trips are the hardest part of the last mile to serve profitably, and that's where most grocery e-commerce loses money.
Autonomous delivery was built for exactly this gap. Our robots handle the short-distance trips that are difficult to serve profitably with human couriers who can then focus on the longer routes where they add the most value.
The two work better together than either does alone.
โ 8โ11% incremental revenue increase per enabled store
โ Robot delivery costs drop 20โ30% annually
Come find us at booth Q20 ๐ค
#ShoptalkEurope2026
The Starship team is at Arctic15 in Helsinki, at one of the biggest deep tech events in the Nordics, on June 11 ๐ค
In the last 11 years, weโve completed 10 million deliveries and built the only autonomous Physical AI solution thatโs proven at scale in the industry.
Our CEO Ahti Heinla is joining Claes Radojewski from Nvidia, Roger Bjรถrkbacka from Bolt and Thomas Hรถglund from Done Robotics for a panel discussion about the future of autonomous systems in European cities.
Ahtiโs keynote is talking about how Starship became the undisputed leader in our category and what it really took us to get to 10 million deliveries.
๐12:10 | Panel: The Agentic Frontier Beyond the Screen: The Rise of Physical AI
๐12:35 | Keynote: Autonomous Delivery Robots: 10 Million Deliveries โ Physical AI Proven at Real-World Scale.
See you at there!
#Arctic15
Weโre heading to @ShopTalk Europe in Barcelona next week! ๐๐ฅฌ
Our robots are built for Grocery Chains. By automating the last mile delivery, we turn hyper-local trips from a margin drain into a margin driver.
Our world-leading fleet of 3000+ robots has completed over 10M+ deliveries and theyโre ready to serve your customers too.
Come say hello to the team and to the robots (weโll be at booth Q20) ๐
#ShoptalkEurope2026
Home to more than 200 technology companies, @tehnopol is the largest science and business park in the Baltic states.
Alongside the Tehnopol team and senior leadership from @StarshipRobots, we had a chance to see firsthand how their operations are helping European startups and SMEs expand into new markets like Ontario.
@theTBDC
As you know, weโve hit 10M deliveries this spring ๐ฅ
This is an incredible milestone for the category of sidewalk robots delivery.
We asked our Director of Autonomous Driving, Lindsay Roberts, to share his thoughts on achieving that milestone and how we really got here.
This is what he said ๐

10,000,000 autonomous deliveries ๐๐ป๐ค
Today, one of our robots delivered our Starship team a very special cake to celebrate this milestone!
- 3000+ autonomous robots
- 300+ locations
- 8 markets
- 23M+ km driven. Autonomously. In the real world.
Weโre celebrating every city, every partner, every team member and every customer who trusted a little six-wheeled robot with their order: this milestone is yours too โค๏ธ

๐ค Our Director of Government Affairs Aileen Zhong is speaking at Curbivore in LA tomorrow, April 17.
The panel: how you actually scale autonomous vehicles from pilot to real-world deployment.
Some things we know a thing or two aboutโฆ ๐ค

Weโre proud to sponsor the Sitting Bucks, who brought home the trophy for the fifth year in a row at the Volleyball-England finals in Loughborough this weekend.
For us, being part of the community goes beyond seeing our robots out making deliveries. Itโs about supporting local teams and initiatives, and playing a role in something bigger.
A special highlight: our robot had the honour of delivering the match ball to the opening server,and even came away with a gold medal of its own ๐ค
Congratulations again to the team on an incredible achievement!

Come see us at Latitude59 next week! ๐ค
In a world where anyone can access the same technology and tools, itโs the team of people that can't be replicated and matters most.
Ahti Heinla and Heidy Kerma will be joining Allan Martinson and Enel Teinemaa on the Bold Stage to talk about the โwhoโ behind building a company like Starship.
๐ Bold Stage
๐๏ธ May 22 @ 13:30โ14:00
The conversation: Despite all technology and new ways of building startups, it still really matters who you choose as your core team.
..and weโll also have one of our robots accompany our speakers!
See you in Tallinn! ๐ช๐ช

The wrong hire costs more than an empty seat.
Last Friday at Latitude59, our CEO Ahti Heinla and VP of People Heidy Kerma took the stage to talk about what it really takes to build the right team ๐ค
Heidy joined Starship without a traditional HR background, but Ahti hired her anyway, because he saw she cared and wanted to get things done. 11 years later, she's our VP of People and has built a team that's mission-driven and keeps on delivering. 10 million times we should say.
That's still how we hire.
What helped us hit 10 million deliveries (and millions more than all our competitors combined), is these same three things:
- resourcefulness is a must, not a bonus
- culture isn't a vibe, but it's a foundation that needs to be protected
- the wrong hire costs more than an empty seat
As Ahti said it: "If you have the right people around you, you can do anything."
What do you look for when hiring for culture? ๐

Weโre now delivering from 225 SOK stores across Finland! ๐
56 of those are new locations that weโve opened in the last 6 months covering Alepa, Sale and S-market stores.
With that, our robots have now completed 1.5 million deliveries across the nation.
This is what autonomous delivery looks like in ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ค
๐งต10 million autonomous deliveries. The inflection point is here.
Starship Technologies has crossed 10M deliveries. That milestone marks the moment last-mile autonomy shifts from proof-of-concept to structural reality. ๐
We are the #1 leader in autonomous delivery and the only Physical AI proven at scale.
- 3,000+ Level 4 autonomous robots
- 8 countries
- 300+ locations
- 22M+ km autonomously driven in the real world
- $3โ4 cheaper per drop vs. rider delivery
๐ฌ โWeโve moved beyond proving the technology: weโre now scaling it.โ โ Ahti Heinla, Co-founder & CEO
