International low-altitude exhibition hopes that the low-altitude economy will better meet the people's needs for a better life, showcase rich innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities in the low-altitude field, help all regions accelerate the implementation of new quality productivity of low-altitude economy, and steadily promote high-quality development.
1. Respond to national strategies and help high-quality development of low-altitude economy
Since 2024, low-altitude economy has been written into the government work report for two consecutive years; the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has put forward clear requirements for the development of low-altitude economy. As organizers, the three major state-owned exhibition groups have a deep understanding of the low-altitude economy as one of the new quality productivity and strategic emerging industries. They are an important focus on promoting high-quality development and actively take responsibility.
2025 International Low-altitude Economic Expo is a platform for building a high-level dialogue in international perspectives. It has received support from 13 government agencies, including the Foreign Trade Development Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, the Aviation Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China, the China Civil Airport Association, the China Aviation Society, the China AOPA, the Beijing Office of the United Nations Development Organization, the China Representative Office of the Royal Aviation Society of Britain and other 13 government agencies and authoritative industry organizations at home and abroad.
The International Low-altitude Exhibition focuses on displaying revolutionary breakthroughs in low-altitude technology, gathering nearly 300 global leading companies, displaying cutting-edge achievements such as drones and eVTOL, promoting excellent solutions for infrastructure construction and production and manufacturing, and driving innovation and upgrading of the industrial chain; through more than 30 international and national high-end conferences, we will promote the efficient allocation of new factors such as finance, technology, and talents, and build an integrated ecosystem of "government, industry, academia, research and application"; deeply presenting the low-altitude economy in transportation and cities The demonstration of the momentum transformation of new applications, new consumption and new business forms for traditional industries in urban governance, business, sports, tourism and education, and accelerate the implementation of scenarios; under the coordinated development mechanism of the Yangtze River Delta and the unified national market strategy, the International Low-altitude Exhibition has attracted exhibition groups in the Yangtze River Delta region and exhibitors from all over the country such as Beijing, Guangdong, and Shanxi to jointly cultivate trillion-level industrial clusters, demonstrate China's leading role in global low-altitude competition with innovation, integration and sustainability, and inject strong momentum into the modern industrial system.

2. Serving low-altitude industries and promoting ecological construction and scenario implementation
As one of the strategic emerging industries, the core needs of its current development are "industry, ecology, and scenarios". Low-altitude economic industries are the foundation, the ecology supports the environment, and the scenarios drive demand. Through exhibitions, forums, events, demonstrations, business docking and other forms, we will deeply analyze industrial trends, improve the allocation of ecological factors, accelerate the implementation of scenarios, build a deep integration platform for government, industry, academia, research and application, and inject strong development momentum into the low-altitude economy.
In terms of industrial development, new energy and intelligent industries represented by the research and development and application of drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), such as DJI, Puzhou, Ordnance Group, Tengdun Science and Technology Innovation, China Post Express Logistics, United Aircraft, Wofei Changkong, Hefei Heyi, etc.; there are also leaders in the domestic and foreign traditional general aviation industry such as Civil Aviation East China Air Traffic Control Engineering, AVIC Industries Group Corporation Computing Institute, Angji Aviation, Aoshi Technology, Dassault Systems, Leonardo, etc.

3. Close to people's lives and depict a beautiful low-altitude picture
International low-altitude exhibition promotes low-altitude economy to fly into ordinary people's homes, improves people's livelihood and provides new supply to meet people's production and living needs. Inside and outside the venue during the exhibition, the organizers have planned a variety of offline activities in terms of experience consumption, cultural tourism, personal development, and popular science.
At the level of low-altitude events, the "2025 National Aeronautical Model (Indoor Project) Championship and China Drone Football National Team Selection" hosted by the Aviation Radio Model Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China and the China Aviation Sports Association is the highest-level event in the country's drone indoor projects. Drone enthusiasts can watch the showdown between top drone control experts at the competition site of over 20,000 square meters, and experience the perfect combination of technology and competition. At the same time, using competitive events as a carrier to popularize aviation knowledge, not only creates a summer immersive aviation technology interactive platform for citizens, but also creates a summer practice classroom that integrates interesting competition and popular science education for young people. Through drone operation experience, model production workshop and other links, children can explore aviation mysteries in hands-on practice, stimulate scientific interest and innovative thinking, and cultivate a reserve talent team for low-altitude economy.
In the field of consumer culture and tourism, the International Low-altitude Exhibition innovatively planned the Hongqiao Tiandi low-altitude theme market, and used creative markets to show new scenarios of low-altitude economic consumption. The International Low-altitude Exhibition focuses on displaying cutting-edge low-altitude transportation tools such as eVTOL aircraft and intelligent logistics drones, presenting future urban commuting and logistics solutions. Through physical exhibitions and ride experiences, the public can experience the potential of the low-altitude economy to transform lifestyles up close.
In terms of personal development, the organizer relies on the official WeChat public account and other media matrix to publish low-altitude recruitment information for multiple types of positions, including business operations, technology research and development, and maintenance, to build a bridge for talent supply and demand; many industrial chain enterprises at the exhibition site simultaneously open up technical cooperation and product docking channels; the International Low-altitude Exhibition has a special entrepreneurial roadshow zone, which helps entrepreneurs explore the industrial blue ocean through project promotion and resource docking, and find innovative and entrepreneurship paths and ecological partners that suit them. These arrangements provide individuals with employment, cooperation and entrepreneurship support, help seize the opportunities of low-altitude economic development and realize the two-way empowerment of personal value and industrial development.
