Program Background

Low-altitude economy constitutes an important part of China’s strategic emerging industries, and represents a key direction for fostering new growth drivers and building a powerful transportation nation. To implement relevant national policies, seize industrial opportunities, and address core challenges in technological breakthroughs, application scenarios, airspace management, policies and regulations, as well as capital integration, this training program is jointly launched by three top universities in China.

The program systematically integrates three dimensions: technology R&D, industrial application, and policy & capital. It equips managers and decision-makers in relevant sectors with a comprehensive, cutting-edge and practical knowledge framework and solutions, helping them build core competitive advantages in this emerging industry.

Target Participants

  • Middle and senior managers from enterprises engaged in low-altitude economy (aircraft manufacturing, component supply, operation, services, etc.)

  • Professionals from investment institutions, securities firms and law firms focusing on low-altitude economy or high-end manufacturing

  • Administrators and policy makers from government authorities (civil aviation, transportation, industry and information technology, investment promotion, etc.)

  • Heads of strategy departments of large enterprises seeking industrial upgrading or strategic transformation

  • Other professionals with profound research interests in the low-altitude economy

Program Benefits

Participants will gain four core values applicable to practical work:

  • A systematic methodology: Acquire a complete framework for analysing the low-altitude economy industry and develop a holistic perspective to avoid fragmented understanding.

  • In-depth cognitive upgrade: Look beyond technical complexity, commercial phenomena and policy texts to grasp underlying logic and interconnections.

  • High-quality ecosystem network: Join an elite community consisting of leading academics, industrial pioneers, policy think-tank experts and capital leaders to facilitate in-depth collaboration.

  • Practical toolkit: Master key models for technical feasibility analysis, commercial scenario planning, policy compliance assessment and project investment evaluation.
