About Us
We’re SLiNK-TECH Ltd (SLiNK), a Bristol, UK-based technology company, developing automated drone infrastructure for the future of flight.
Founded in 2018, we have been developing an advanced launch and landing solution, which is safe, low cost and highly automated.
Our Vision
Our vision is to make the benefits of drone logistics available across all industries and applications.
If the advantages of electric aviation are to be realised sustainably and be future-proof, it is essential to invest in the infrastructure of vertiports: not just landing pads but automated efficient, scalable, and resilient systems to transition people and goods from ground to air. We are realising this view, with our highly advanced launch and landing solution, called PORTAL.
