On the sidelines of the event, a forum on "Low-Altitude Economy - A New Engine for China's Economic Growth" was co-hosted by the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The forum garnered significant attention from a diverse array of participants, including industry leaders, renowned scholars, international experts in the field of low-altitude economy, as well as key executives from leading enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta region.

Discussions at the forum are focused on the role of the low-altitude economy in driving Chinese economic growth and global economic transformation and upgrading.

Attendees collectively acknowledged that the low altitude economy, as a strategic emerging industry, is a representative of new quality productive forces, poised to become a new engine for global economic transformation and upgrading.

They noted that the low-altitude economy has the potential to not only drive optimization of industrial structure and coordinated development of regional economy, but also promote economic recovery, cooperation and innovation worldwide.

They underlined the need for enhanced open collaboration, improved policy guidance and technological innovation mechanisms, and the establishment of new models for global industrial cooperation to foster the healthy development of the low-altitude economy.

Participants highlighted the necessity for further refinement in the development model of the low-altitude economy, increased exploration of market demands by low-altitude operating companies, breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields such as airspace planning, flight control, and safety supervision, and strengthened support for low-altitude service management through infrastructure development.

The attendees noted significant achievements in recent years in areas such as the reform of low-altitude airspace management and the establishment of unmanned aerial test zones. They said that the development of the low-altitude economy has transitioned from "pilot exploration" to "large-scale practice," representing a crucial initiative in the construction of a modern socialist country on all front.

It was agreed at the forum that universities, government, enterprises and industry guidance authorities should work together closely to further overcome key technological bottlenecks, optimize business models and regulatory systems, solidify infrastructure, and propel the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy in order to further unleash its potential as a new engine for China's economic growth.

Through in-depth discussions at the forum, a deeper understanding of the low-altitude economy was achieved across various sectors. Focuses and directions for future development were identified, and pathways to construct an open, inclusive and mutually beneficial global low-altitude economy landscape were explored.
