As a strategic emerging industry, the low altitude economy is flourishing, integrating cutting-edge technological achievements in aerospace, electronic information, new energy and other fields, becoming an important force in promoting technological innovation and economic transformation and upgrading. "On December 10, at the 2024 Low altitude Economic Innovation Summit Forum, Peng Lihui, Secretary General of the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce, said.
Data shows that by 2023, the scale of China's low altitude economy has reached 505.95 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 33.8%. In the context of digitalization and intelligence, the innovative development of low altitude economy not only opens up new industrial space, but also injects new impetus into the construction of a modern economic system.
This year, the low altitude economy has been included in the government work report for the first time, and many local governments have introduced various policies and measures to support the development of the low altitude economy. China's low altitude economy is taking off at an unprecedented speed, "said Meng Shuhao, Assistant General Manager of China Development and Investment Corporation and Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Investment Human Resources Service Co., Ltd.
Currently, the global low altitude economy is thriving, and Hefei City in Anhui Province is actively building an industrial system for low altitude economy based on technological innovation, industrial foundation, and location and transportation advantages.
Previously, the Hefei Municipal Government released the "Hefei Low altitude Economic Development Action Plan (2023-2025)", proposing that Hefei will build a low altitude economic headquarters cluster area, with Hefei High tech Zone being one of them. As a "new trend" for trillion dollar industries, the low altitude economic industry has achieved "takeoff" to "take-off" in Hefei High tech Zone in recent years. Xie Chao, a member of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Hefei High tech Zone, said that in just over a year, more than 20 low altitude enterprises, including zero gravity aircraft, have gathered here, and are currently actively planning to build a three-dimensional urban air transportation system. As of now, Hefei High tech Zone has gathered nearly 120 aerospace information industry chain enterprises.
At the forum, Guotou Sci Tech Innovation Hefei Future Industry Incubation Center officially opened, and several high-quality enterprises signed cooperation agreements with Hefei Future Industry Incubation Center for landing projects.
