The meeting clarified that Zhongkai High tech Zone will firmly support enterprises in seizing opportunities for the development of low altitude economy, encourage entrepreneurs to have firm confidence in development, and require all levels and departments to implement precise policies in the development of low altitude industry. Going forward, Zhongkai High tech Zone will fully leverage its manufacturing advantages and firmly implement a differentiated development path for the low altitude economy industry. Through precise policy support, investment and financing guarantees, talent support policies, and high-quality enterprise services, it will safeguard the development of the low altitude economy industry in the entire district.
It is reported that the development of the low altitude economy industry in Zhongkai High tech Zone mainly focuses on building a low altitude economy manufacturing base and a data service base, relying on the basic advantages of new generation electronic information technology and energy electronics industry, focusing on the development of key manufacturing links such as battery systems and electric propulsion systems, and cultivating and forming an industrial chain of "core components+complete machine manufacturing+data services". In 2024, Zhongkai High tech Zone has achieved a certain scale of output value in drone components, FPV (first person perspective) drone manufacturing, and low altitude data services, with an expected growth rate of over 30% and huge development potential. In terms of industrial development, the representative enterprise of high-performance batteries and battery systems, EVE Energy, has helped AVIC successfully develop the first domestic electric manned airship AS700D and successfully completed its test flight; As a representative of FPV drone manufacturing enterprise, Yifei Intelligence has obtained the qualification of "white list" special equipment supplier from the General Administration of Sport and the Ministry of Education as a complete equipment manufacturer in our region. In terms of scenario applications, Zhongkai High tech Zone has completed the application of unmanned low altitude perception networks in Guangdong Province's "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project", as well as in specialized work such as comprehensive law enforcement inspections, farmland protection inspections, environmental protection inspections, forest fire prevention, agricultural planting protection, and monitoring of key industrial projects using drones in the area. In terms of infrastructure construction, Zhongkai High tech Zone, together with the Municipal Government Service and Data Management Bureau, Huicheng District Government, and Daya Bay Development Zone Management Committee, successfully applied for the first batch of Guangdong Province's data element aggregation development zones, and made every effort to build a data "service network". Two enterprises in the zone (TCL Industry and Taiyi Technology) were mobilized to successfully apply for provincial data brokers, and 12 enterprises were successfully applied for municipal data service providers. In addition, the low altitude unmanned aerial vehicle application platform in Zhongkai High tech Zone has entered an accelerated construction period, which will further promote the high-quality development of the low altitude economic industry in Zhongkai High tech Zone in the future.
