Hong Kong’s first five‑year plan aims to become an Asia‑Pacific hub for low‑altitude innovation. A government working group is drafting a Development of the Low‑Altitude Economy Action Plan to strengthen regulatory frameworks, standards and infrastructure. Measures under consideration include jointly studying with mainland China the establishment of an international low‑altitude economic cooperation organization, fast‑tracking cross‑border low‑altitude logistics test flights and gradually expanding a Greater Bay Area cross‑border low‑altitude logistics network. The plan also prioritizes R&D for low‑altitude infrastructure and construction of smart low‑altitude traffic management systems. The Hong Kong government is consulting stakeholders and expects to complete the draft within the year.

Policymakers nonetheless agreed they must remain vigilant and address vulnerabilities that could trigger a systemic crisis.
