Developing Infrastructure and Opportunities Towards a Low-altitude Economy

The low-altitude economy holds immense potential to transform urban living by easing congestion, enhancing logistical efficiency, and reducing environmental impact using drones, eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles), and other aerial technologies. However, realizing this vision requires overcoming significant technological, regulatory, and infrastructural challenges. This session brings together experts from leading delivery and eVTOL companies, urban planners, and policy advisors to explore how Hong Kong can strategically integrate the low-altitude economy into its urban fabric. Discussions will focus on the development of supportive infrastructure, the creation of new economic opportunities, and the establishment of robust regulatory frameworks to ensure safe and sustainable operations. Join us to learn how Hong Kong can champion this emerging sector and set a global example for the future of urban air mobility and logistics.
