Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – A special session on the low-altitude economy industry, part of the "City of Opportunities, Booming with Activity" series of investment promotion events, was held in Guangzhou on the 13th. Guangzhou municipal government officials stated at the event that the city will construct 500 new low-altitude take-off and landing facilities by 2026.
During the event, the Guangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission released information on development opportunities in Guangzhou's low-altitude economy industry and the Guangzhou Aerospace Industry Investment Fund.
Le Mao, Executive Deputy Director of the Guangzhou Low-Altitude Aerospace Industry Office and Deputy Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, stated that by 2026, Guangzhou will construct 500 new low-altitude take-off and landing facilities; plan and construct a long test runway to provide testing conditions for the research and development and manufacturing of ton-class heavy-load unmanned aerial vehicles; and create a 6-kilometer low-altitude safety control test zone along the Pearl River.
Le Mao also stated that Guangzhou is accelerating the development of cultural and tourism test routes along the Pearl River, exploring the establishment of typical operational demonstration sites in riverside parks and low-density areas along the Pearl River in Guangzhou's urban area. The goal is to create a manned low-altitude flight application demonstration route connecting Guangzhou's Guangzhou Port Wharf, Pazhou Riverside Park, Haixinsha Island, Baietan Beach, and Taikoo Hui, promoting commercial operation.
It is understood that Guangzhou will enhance the localization capabilities of the supply chain for new aircraft such as eVTOL and drones, promote the adaptability transformation of component enterprises in areas such as batteries, motors, electronic controls, navigation systems, and intelligent flight control, cultivate benchmark enterprises in the local component field, and realize the goal of "building aircraft without leaving Guangzhou" and "Made in Guangzhou, sold globally."
The Guangzhou Aerospace Industry Investment Fund, launched during the event, has a target total size of 20 billion RMB, jointly funded by Guangzhou municipal finance, state-owned enterprises at all levels, government funds, and financial institutions. The fund's investment scope covers the entire low-altitude economy and aerospace industry chain, including key raw material supply, core component manufacturing, aircraft and supporting facilities, as well as application and service scenarios such as low-altitude logistics, cultural tourism, travel, government flights, air transport, and space launches.
The event also organized four site visit routes, inviting representatives from participating companies and guests to visit key platforms and facilities in four districts of Guangzhou to conduct on-site inspections of Guangzhou's low-altitude economy application scenarios, intelligent manufacturing parks, and innovative infrastructure.
