What happened
Drone delivery company Wing announced at the 2026 UP.Summit that it will invest up to $125 million over the next two years to build R&D and engineering capabilities in California, serve operating communities, and construct a new 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
