In May 2026, the 10th World UAV Conference & Shenzhen International Low-Altitude Economy Expo successfully concluded. As the world’s largest, most complete industrial chain, and most international professional exhibition focused on the low-altitude economy in 2026, the event gathered high-quality global industrial resources, built a core platform for transnational industrial docking, technical exchange, and project implementation, and fully demonstrated China’s pivotal role as a global hub for the low-altitude economy. Covering an exhibition area of 110,000 square meters, a record high in history, the expo attracted hundreds of leading low-altitude enterprises from 17 countries worldwide. Exhibits covered the entire industrial chain, including low-altitude aircraft R&D and manufacturing, intelligent airspace management systems, vertiport infrastructure, low-altitude communication support, hydrogen power equipment, and low-altitude operational services, comprehensively displaying the latest global technological achievements, product iterations, and business model innovations in the low-altitude sector. During the exhibition, participating enterprises from various countries released cutting-edge achievements such as cross-border low-altitude flight solutions, new-generation hydrogen-powered eVTOL models, urban intelligent low-altitude management systems, and refined low-altitude logistics distribution systems, promoting global collaborative technological innovation and industrial integration. According to official statistics, the expo achieved a total intended industrial cooperation value of 23 billion yuan, covering technical cooperation, project settlement, product procurement, joint R&D, and overseas market expansion. A number of transnational low-altitude industrial cooperation projects were successfully finalized, effectively driving in-depth collaboration among global low-altitude industrial chains, supply chains, and innovation chains. Benefiting from its complete high-end manufacturing chain, active technological innovation atmosphere, and open industrial policies, Shenzhen has developed into a core cluster and innovation source for China’s low-altitude economy. The continuous hosting of world-class low-altitude exhibitions enables China’s low-altitude industry to efficiently connect with global markets. The successful conclusion of the expo not only fully showcases the achievements and core strength of China’s low-altitude economy but also builds a bridge for global industrial interconnection. It accelerates the globalization, marketization, and intelligent upgrading of the global low-altitude economy, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the global low-altitude industry.
