2025 2nd China (Xi'an) International Low-altitude Economy Development Conference and Belt and Road Low-altitude Economic Industrial Chain Expo

The low-altitude economy has become a strategic emerging industry in China and has been highlighted in government work reports for two consecutive years. In 2025, it is explicitly defined as a key area for cultivating new productive forces. As a major hub for aviation industry, Shaanxi Province will introduce the "Shaanxi Provincial Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Low-Altitude Economy" in 2024, establishing a development pattern of "one core, two wings, and multiple nodes". The first conference attracted over 1,200 representatives from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, facilitating over 5 billion RMB in intended cooperative agreements and becoming a vital platform for linking government and enterprise resources.

This year's conference theme, "New Perspectives on Low Altitude, New Engine for Economy - Focus on Low Altitude Economy, Co-create Intelligent Future", has significantly scaled up to cover 32,000 square meters, expecting more than 100,000 visitors, further amplifying Shaanxi’s leading effect in the low-altitude economy sector. The event will thoroughly implement the spirit of the national ‘Two Sessions’ and the strategic deployment for low-altitude economy and commercial aerospace, focusing on four core objectives: internationalization, market orientation, professionalization, and service excellence. It aims to build a high-end platform for technical exhibitions, industrial collaboration, policy discussions, and international cooperation in the global low-altitude economy field.

**Highlights of the Conference**
1. Comprehensive Coverage of the Entire Industry Chain to Build an Industrial Ecosystem: There will be 10 specialized exhibition areas, attracting over 430 exhibiting companies, showcasing cutting-edge technologies in low-altitude aircraft manufacturing, intelligent air traffic management systems, power energy, and aerospace science education, creating a "full chain, multi-dimensional, and three-dimensional" industry display platform.

2. Deepen International Cooperation and Expand Global Perspectives: The conference has established cooperation with international organizations such as the International Low Altitude Economic Association (ILAEA) and the “Belt and Road” Development Alliance, with plans to invite representatives from over 20 countries along the Belt and Road to participate. Special sessions such as the "Cross-border Technology Cooperation Roadshow" and "International Procurement Demand Release Conference" will be held to promote multinational projects like eVTOL airport constructions and drone logistics distribution.

3. A Balance of Scenario-based Experiences and Achievement Transformation: Interactive activities such as flying car experiences, drone formation displays, and youth model aircraft competitions will engage public participation. Finance and investment matchmaking sessions and project roadshows will also take place, expecting to stimulate over 10 billion RMB in intended cooperation, transforming "exhibition traffic" into "industrial increment".

4. Dual-Driven by Policies and Technology: Focused on industry pain points such as low-altitude economy legislation, detailed airspace management, and safety standards, sub-forums like the "Low-altitude Economy Legal Forum" and "Military-civil Fusion Application Interpretation Conference" will be held. Academicians and industry representatives will discuss industrial development paths, forming a closed loop of „policy discussion—technological innovation—scenario application".
