Nearly 300 representatives from industry associations, university and enterprise experts, international aviation authorities, and media from Mainland China, Macau, and overseas attended the forum.

Jiang Weiliang, General Manager of Nam Kwong (Group) Co., Ltd., welcomed all guests. In his speech, he stated that 2026 marks the first year of the “15th Five-Year Plan.” At the national level, the low-altitude economy has been included in the outline of the “15th Five-Year Plan” and designated as a key emerging pillar industry in the government work report. The low-altitude economy is accelerating from a conceptual blueprint to systematic implementation. Developing the low-altitude economy is not only an inherent part of Macau’s “1+4” diversified industrial development but also a testing platform with broad imaginative potential for the “hard connectivity” of infrastructure, the “soft connectivity” of rules and mechanisms, and the “optimal connectivity” of public services between Qinzhou and Macau. This forum is not merely a discussion of an industry or a technology but also an exploration of the infinite possibilities of a new lifestyle integrating Qinzhou and Macau and the institutional innovation of the “One Country, Two Systems” with Macau characteristics. Nam Kwong Group is willing to join hands with all sectors to actively seize development opportunities, solve industrial challenges, build consensus on cooperation, and jointly write a new chapter in the high-quality development of the Qinzhou-Macau low-altitude economy!

Li Chong, Deputy Director of the Executive Committee of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, stated in his speech that the low-altitude economy is a strategically emerging industry prioritized by the state, and the integration of Qinzhou and Macau provides unique advantages for industrial development. Hengqin is fully committed to building a city-level all-space unmanned system, creating replicable and scalable “Hengqin experience” and “Hengqin model.” In the future, efforts will focus on cross-border logistics scenarios, deepening rule alignment, promoting industrial integration, facilitating the flow of factors, and helping Chinese standards go global, working together to promote the high-quality development of the Qinzhou-Macau low-altitude economy.

Chen Zurong, Deputy Director of the Economic and Technological Development Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government, stated in his speech that the low-altitude economy is a new track for future industries that the state is striving to develop and a crucial lever for Macau to promote moderate economic diversification. The Macau SAR government has established a low-altitude economy working group and will continue to improve the regulatory framework, optimize infrastructure and approval processes, promote drone transport pilot projects, deepen airspace coordination, regulatory alignment, and scenario co-construction in the Greater Bay Area, explore cross-border low-altitude logistics cooperation, and jointly promote the high-quality development of Macau’s low-altitude economy.

Sun Yukui, Specialist of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Ltd., stated in his speech that the low-altitude economy and all-space unmanned systems are national strategic emerging industries and important carriers of new productive forces. Hengqin and Macau possess unique advantages and are ideal fertile ground for industrial development. AVIC will join hands with all parties to build an industrial highland, tackle core technologies, expand application scenarios, and improve safety standards, supporting the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy and all-space unmanned systems in Macau and the Greater Bay Area, serving national strategies and the construction of the Greater Bay Area.

Yang Jincai, Chairman of the World Drone Conference, stated in his speech that the low-altitude economy is a key direction for global technological innovation and industrial upgrading, building a new industrial ecosystem integrating advanced manufacturing, the digital economy, and smart cities. Macau, with its international platform, cultural tourism resources, and Qinzhou-Macau synergy advantages, is suitable for creating distinctive demonstration scenarios. The complementary advantages of Shenzhen, Macau, and Qinzhou offer broad prospects for coordinated development, with the potential to jointly create a benchmark for the low-altitude economy in the Greater Bay Area. The low-altitude economy concerns future urban development and industrial transformation, requiring concerted efforts, openness, and cooperation from all parties to promote high-quality industrial development and contribute Chinese wisdom to global industry progress.

Huang Yumin, Vice Chairman of the Society of Unmanned Systems Engineers (SUSE), stated in his speech that the low-altitude economy has become a national emerging pillar industry. This forum is an important measure for Qinzhou and Macau to integrate into the national strategy and promote economic diversification. Currently, the industry faces challenges such as institutional frameworks, regulation, and value chain closure. The state has proposed the “1+6+N” plan and is conducting demonstrations in Hengqin. SUSE is willing to work with all parties to establish standards, collaborate on innovation, and expand international cooperation to jointly promote the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy.

Liu Benli, President of the Macau Economic Association, stated in his speech that this forum brings together forces from all sectors to jointly promote the innovative development of Macau’s low-altitude economy and all-space unmanned systems. Macau is at a critical stage of “1+4” moderate economic diversification, and the low-altitude economy is of great significance for optimizing the industrial structure and cultivating new productive forces. The association will leverage its role as a non-governmental think tank, focusing on policies, standards, industrial ecology, and application scenarios, gathering professional wisdom to provide decision-making support for the integration of Qinzhou and Macau and industrial implementation, working with all parties to promote Macau’s long-term economic prosperity and stability.

The successful holding of this forum is a practical measure by the Macau Economic Association, Nam Kwong Cultural and Creative Industries Co., Ltd., the Society of Unmanned Systems Engineers (SUSE), and the Overall Department of All-Space Unmanned System Construction to implement the national low-altitude economy strategy and serve Macau’s overall development. As a strategically emerging industry foreseen in the national “15th Five-Year Plan,” the low-altitude economy is a key force in promoting high-quality development and cultivating new productive forces. The forum brought together representatives from national ministries, the SAR government, foreign academicians, and experts, featuring over ten high-level keynote speeches covering diverse directions such as policy, regulation, and international standards. Specialized salon discussions and exchanges were held to foster high-level intellectual collisions and build industrial consensus. The forum fully leveraged Macau’s unique advantages as “One Center, One Platform, One Base,” supporting the “1+4” moderate economic diversification and the deepening of Qinzhou-Macau integration. It injected strong and sustained momentum into building a world-class low-altitude economy innovation hub in Qinzhou-Macau, serving the national strategic landscape, and enriching the successful practice of “One Country, Two Systems.”
