Overview

This breakfast forum aims at exploring challenges and technological innovations in the Low-altitude Economy and Hong Kong's opportunities to develop a sustainable Low-altitude Economy through these technologies.  

 

The innovative aircraft, electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, stand to transform both intracity mobility and regional connectivity across the Greater Bay Area (GBA).  

 

The participants would discuss how eVTOLs could help to develop the Low-altitude Economy based on various aspects, such as challenges of vertiport placement in Hong Kong's dense urban environment, regulatory frameworks needed to support operations, and safety standards essential for public acceptance.  

 

Through this comprehensive approach, we aim to facilitate meaningful dialogue on how Hong Kong can strategically position itself to maximize benefits while mitigating potential challenges in the evolving Low-altitude Economy.
