Session Description
China’s low-altitude economy merges traditional General Aviation, with emerging technologies like uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), flying cars and eVTOL aircraft for operations below 3,000 m (9,842 ft) altitude. It aims to integrate land, water and air transport sectors, leveraging industrial advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), battery development, artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and 5G networks.
In 2025, the China’s “Report on the Work of the Government” committed to promote the development of the low-altitude economy. 15 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Changzhou launched a joint initiative to establish a low-altitude economy ecosystem, targeting the development of 100 demonstration projects by 2025, reported by Xinhua News Agency on February 19, 2025. Meanwhile, Japan, UAE, the US and Europe are all announcing eVtol commercial flights for 2025. Now is the time to explore their different approaches and draw valuable learnings.
Mobile networks play a crucial role in enabling wide range of low-altitude transportation solutions, with advanced drone operations, and flying taxis for everyday commutes being just a few examples of the many innovations that are expected to benefit significantly. Key drivers of the growth include advancements in automated permission processes, air traffic management, as well as improvements in uncrewed aircraft certification system.
In this session, we will delve into the low attitude economy's potential and how mobile operators may help boost this growing business. Experts in the area will lead engaging conversations, sharing practical case studies, potential business models, and firsthand insights with the audience.
