Digital sets sail and trade sets sail; Jiangcheng gathers to draw a new chapter. On the afternoon of November 12, the 2024 Global Digital Trade Conference with the theme of "Intelligent Connected World Trade" was grandly opened in Wuhan. Leaders of relevant national ministries and industry associations, provincial and municipal leaders, diplomatic envoys, experts and scholars in the field of digital trade, domestic and foreign Hundreds of guests, including industry associations (chambers of commerce) and entrepreneurs, gathered in Wuhan’s living room to discuss hot topics such as digital economy and digital trade.
In the past two years, the low-level economy has not only become a hot topic in the capital market, but also an important practice for new productivity in various places. As an emerging economic form, low-altitude economy is gradually showing its unique charm and huge development potential, and has gradually become an important force in promoting regional economic development and industrial upgrading. Mr. Wang Jinping, President of the China Information Association, brought his thoughts and prospects on the low-altitude economy with the title "Thoughts on the Development of Low-altitude Economic Industries".
Wang Jinping said that the low-altitude economy has been officially included in the national plan from 2021, which is of landmark significance. Since then, the low-altitude economy has ushered in huge development opportunities. To put it simply, the low-altitude economy is general aviation + drones. To put it completely, the low-altitude economy is a model that uses unmanned and manned aircraft to drive and overlook the development of the surrounding economy. From the perspective of industrial composition, the low-altitude economy covers low-altitude manufacturing, low-altitude flight, low-altitude support, comprehensive service support and other related industrial chains.
Judging from the development layout of the low-altitude economy at the national and local levels, the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of last year positioned the low-altitude economy as a strategic emerging industry for the first time. The government work report at the beginning of this year also proposed to create a new growth engine for the low-altitude economy. This year’s Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China further emphasized the need to develop general aviation and low-altitude economy. Therefore, there is reason to believe that the development of my country's low-level economy is ready to take off. It should be said that it has now entered a very good turning period. So far, 21 provinces and regions across the country have issued development strategies and action plans to revise the low-altitude economy.
According to relevant reports, the scale of our country's low-altitude economy reached 500 billion yuan last year, which is very fast. It is expected that the scale will reach 2 trillion yuan by 2030, and may reach 5 trillion yuan in 2035. At present, there are close to 70,000 companies related to the low-altitude economy across the country.
Wang Jinping pointed out that looking at the future from the current situation, modern society will have no future without AI, and the low-level economy must catch up with the general trend of AI. Generally speaking, it is necessary to be driven by technological innovation and strengthen the research and development of key technologies for the low-altitude economy. Specifically speaking, there are five points: First, adapting measures to local conditions is the strategy for the development of the low-altitude economy. We must face development challenges head-on and reform the low-altitude-related development environment. Second, scientific and technological innovation is the essence of the development of low-altitude economy. It is necessary to strengthen scientific and technological leadership and break through some bottlenecks that restrict it. Third, digital low-altitude is the development paradigm of low-altitude economy. We need to deepen digital transformation and build a digital low altitude. Fourth, scenario application is the opposite of the development of low-altitude economy, which requires us to continuously expand application scenarios and stimulate market vitality. Fifth, coordinated development is the development path of the low-altitude economy, which requires us to give full play to our organizational advantages and promote coordinated development.
