36Kr Industrial Belt Program Recruitment | Low-altitude Economy, Ready to Take Off in Chengdu

Welcome to Sign Up

The low-altitude economy is expected to give birth to a trillion-dollar market, and this industrial competition is evolving into a competition among cities.

Since the Central Economic Work Conference included the low-altitude economy in the category of strategic emerging industries at the end of last year, since 2024, 27 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across the country have mentioned the low-altitude economy in the local government work reports.

Objectively speaking, in the early stage of this round of industrial competition, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen maintain a phased lead with the advantages of policies and development environment, capital investment capacity and innovative technology. However, Unlike the distribution patterns of industries such as real estate, the Internet or new energy in the past, many core cities in the central and western regions have begun to stand out in this round of the "City in the Sky" competition by identifying their own comparative advantages.

Chengdu, as one of the core developed cities in the "West Triangle Economic Circle", has always been an important aviation industry center in the country, with a complete aviation and gas turbine industrial chain system from design, R & D to production and manufacturing, from core structural components to complete machine assembly.

This means that In the transformation from an important aviation industry city to aiming to become the low-altitude economic center in the western region, Chengdu's existing technical R & D capabilities, industrial manufacturing foundation and industrial agglomeration effect can be reused to a large extent, especially the traditional advantageous elements of Chengdu in terms of aviation infrastructure construction and airspace management experience, which can be further amplified.

After all, to seek development in the "sky", there must be both an open airspace and a landed infrastructure.

According to the "2024 China Urban Low-Altitude Economic Development Index Report" recently released by 36Kr, in terms of the development environment (including policy environment, economic environment and communication environment) index, Chengdu (83.05) ranks third, only after Shenzhen (88.33) and Beijing (87.12).

In terms of policies, the Chengdu government work report has mentioned keywords such as "low-altitude economy" and "airport economic zone" many times; in terms of funds, Chengdu has established a low-altitude economic industrial fund with a total scale of 3 billion yuan, focusing on attracting large and strong enterprises to accelerate the improvement of the industrial chain.

Public reports show that As of August 2024, Chengdu has gathered 224 low-altitude economic enterprises, accounting for 4.12% of the national total, including many leading enterprises and star enterprises in the industrial chain.

Take Chengdu High-tech Zone as an example. Through policy guidance, financial support and platform construction, a number of high-quality enterprises and institutions in the low-altitude economic field, such as Wofei Changkong, AVIC UAV and Zhongheng Co., Ltd., have been gathered in the zone.

The combination of policies, funds and industrial advantages enables Chengdu to continuously attract high-quality projects in the field, and the rapid growth of innovative enterprises also feeds back to the employment and economic growth of the region.

The low-altitude economy is a long-chain and long-cycle industry, and the track competition has just begun. There are many cities in the central and western regions that are developing the low-altitude economy. Why are leading enterprises and star projects more willing to land in Chengdu? In the rising period of a strategic emerging industry, how should entrepreneurs seize the policy and industrial dividends to find the right landing soil and market space?

On October 24, 2024, 36Kr's "Industrial Belt Plan" will enter Chengdu High-tech Zone, visit Wofei Changkong and Zhongheng Co., Ltd. on the spot, and have in-depth exchanges with local leading enterprises, state-owned capital and government officials in Chengdu to analyze the development logic and future planning of Chengdu's low-altitude economic industry.
