Shenzhen World Unmanned Aircraft ConferenceUASE

The Shenzhen World Unmanned Aircraft System Expo (UASE) is the annual flagship event of the global low-altitude economy. Leveraging Shenzhen’s industrial strengths as the “Unmanned Aircraft Capital,” it focuses on innovation and development in unmanned aircraft systems and the low-altitude economy, establishing a premier platform for high-level international exchanges, resource matchmaking, and technology transfer. The expo comprehensively showcases China’s robust capabilities in developing the low-altitude economy and spearheads a new journey toward high-quality growth of the global low-altitude economic sector.

Currently, the low-altitude economy has been included in the Government Work Reports for three consecutive years, entering a critical window characterized by the concentrated release of policy benefits, accelerated technological breakthroughs, and large-scale implementation across diverse application scenarios. As a result, this trillion-yuan blue-ocean market is rapidly expanding, emerging as a new growth engine and driving force for high-quality economic development.   

Shenzhen, a pioneering and exemplary city in China for high-tech innovation and the development of the science and technology industry, is widely known as the “Drone Capital.” Leveraging its robust industrial foundation, well-established ecosystem, and cutting-edge innovation capabilities, Shenzhen has emerged as a global hub for the drone and low-altitude economy sectors, actively striving to become the world’s premier city for the low-altitude economy.

Leveraging Shenzhen’s “20+8” strategic emerging industry cluster framework, the low-altitude economy—designated as a key growth area—has expanded into multiple sectors, including manned aviation, logistics and transportation, last-mile delivery, and urban governance services. With its technological innovation capabilities consistently leading the world, Shenzhen has achieved leapfrog development across the entire value chain—from core chips and flight control systems to complete aircraft manufacturing and application scenarios—continuously injecting strong momentum into the World Unmanned Aircraft System Conference. This has driven the event’s annual expansion in scale, elevation of its thematic depth, and sustained enhancement of its global influence. Industry empowers the event, while the event, in turn, reinforces the industry, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between Shenzhen and the World Unmanned Aircraft System Conference, characterized by two-way empowerment and shared prosperity.

The Shenzhen World Unmanned Aircraft System Expo (UASE) spans an exhibition area of 110,000 square meters, bringing together 1,220 drone and low-altitude economy–related enterprises from 17 countries and regions. With tens of thousands of drones on display, the event has established a comprehensive showcase ecosystem that covers the entire industry chain, offering a holistic view of technological innovations and industry development trends in the low-altitude economy. The exhibit portfolio encompasses not only core platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles, eVTOLs, flying cars, general aviation aircraft, and unmanned helicopters, but also extends into emerging fields including artificial intelligence, low-altitude infrastructure, low-altitude safety and security systems, communication and navigation technologies, as well as new materials and renewable energy sources, thereby achieving end-to-end coverage—from foundational technologies to real-world applications.

The three-day conference is expected to attract over 200,000 professional visitors for networking and business discussions, with more than 10,000 global trade buyers participating. Overseas sub-venues have been established in countries and regions including South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, enabling seamless connectivity of global resources and efficient integration of online and offline activities. This initiative will further promote the internationalization of drone technologies and products, enhancing the global influence of Shenzhen’s drone industry and low-altitude economy.

The Shenzhen World Unmanned Aircraft System Expo (UASE), grounded in the needs of industry development, builds upon conventional booth displays by offering four tailored, high-value initiatives. It has established an end-to-end service ecosystem encompassing “exhibition—business matchmaking—publicity—commercialization,” thereby maximizing exhibitor value and helping companies seize policy-driven opportunities while expanding their market presence.

The Shenzhen World Unmanned Aircraft System Expo (UASE) is not only a grand industry event that brings together global expertise, but also a fresh starting point for driving industrial upgrading. We are confident that, taking this edition of the expo as an opportunity, industry peers worldwide will build consensus, deepen collaboration, and foster the deep integration of drone technology across diverse sectors, enabling low-altitude technologies to better empower social development and benefit people’s livelihoods. Meanwhile, Shenzhen will continue to leverage its strengths as the “Unmanned Aircraft Capital,” guided by technological innovation, supported by industrial clusters, and strengthened through international cooperation, injecting continuous Shenzhen wisdom and Chinese momentum into the high-quality development of the global low-altitude economy.
