The two runners-up skypooling and VRR also presented solutions in the area of sustainable shipping containers.

Nepal Flying Labs won in the Start-up category for their Drone Optimized Therapy System (DrOTS) which flies humanitarian and medical cargo drones to remote and hard to reach locations in Nepal. As an up-and-coming start-up, Nepal Flying Labs will receive a USD 10,000 prize. The two runners-up BeOn IoT and Drone Delivery Canada will be recognized with USD 2’500 each.

This year TIACA received 23 applications for the awards with many outstanding businesses outlining solutions in carbon and waste reduction, drones, humanitarian aid, packaging, ULDs, process efficiencies, people focus and COVID-19 relief.

The second edition of TIACA’s sustainability awards ceremony took place online due to COVID-19 related restrictions. However, an in-person ceremony is planned at the next possible physical TIACA event in 2021.
