The working mechanism for collaborative innovation and development of the low altitude industry in the Yangtze River Delta was launched yesterday in Suzhou, Jiangsu, accelerating the construction of a new highland for collaborative innovation and development of the low altitude industry in the Yangtze River Delta region. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that efforts will be made to strengthen departmental collaboration and the linkage between central enterprises and local governments in the Yangtze River Delta region, promote six collaborative innovations in technology equipment, innovation platforms, and application scenarios, and fully build four highlands in the Yangtze River Delta region for low altitude equipment manufacturing industry, characteristic application demonstration, integrated innovation of science and technology industry finance, and talent development in the low altitude industry. Xin Guobin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology: To promote the coordinated innovation and development of the low altitude industry in the Yangtze River Delta, we will focus on institutional linkage, policy coordination, and standard integration, strengthen departmental coordination and central local linkage, accelerate the formation of strategic synergy, promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and establish a more convenient modern low altitude logistics and transportation system. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also stated that the key to expanding and doing a good job in the low altitude industry "cake" in the Yangtze River Delta is to "adapt to local conditions" and "tailor according to circumstances". In the future, China will fully leverage the location advantages and resource endowments of the low altitude industry in the three provinces and one city of the Yangtze River Delta region, build a collaborative system, cultivate the Yangtze River Delta model of low altitude industry, and form a demonstration effect. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the overall development trend of China's low altitude industry is good. As of now, a total of 424 enterprises have completed registration and 1075 products have been filed. Conservatively estimated, the number of drones will exceed 10 million within five years. The competitive advantage of the industry has begun to emerge, and the application prospects are very broad. In addition, the reporter learned that the leading level of China's new generation of information technology has also provided strong support for the rapid development of the low altitude industry. Xu Chunrong, Director of the Equipment Industry Department II of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: We have formulated and released the "Several Regulations on the Production Management of Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles", established a product information system for civil unmanned aerial vehicles, and strengthened the management and services of the unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing industry; Promote the integration and innovation of 5G, satellite Internet, Beidou and other new generation information technology and low altitude equipment. Experts predict that the scale of China's civilian drone industry will exceed 200 billion yuan by 2025. (New Society)
