Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo

The Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo (International Advanced Air Mobility Expo) is an international trade show centered on the low-altitude economy, a strategic emerging industry. With the theme “Setting Sail for the Low-Altitude Economy, Empowering Thousands of Industries,” it highlights key segments of the industry chain, including low-altitude infrastructure, manufacturing, and supporting services, as well as application areas such as low-altitude transportation, urban–rural management, commercial integration, and personal consumption.

The Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo addresses the development needs of low-altitude enterprises and the practical implementation of application scenarios. Through thematic exhibitions, industry forums, matchmaking events, and hands-on demonstrations, it provides exhibitors and visitors in the fields of low-altitude economy management, research, production, services, and applications with a platform for exchange and business collaboration.

The exhibition’s program has been carefully designed to comprehensively cover all stakeholders and sectors within the low-altitude economy, ensuring broad participation across diverse industries. Emphasizing practical outcomes and application-oriented solutions, it employs a variety of formats—exhibitions, presentations, evaluations, and competitions—to systematically showcase the low-altitude industry chain and value chain. By highlighting the immense market potential of low-altitude applications, the event seeks to maximize the value of participant engagement.

In response to exhibitors’ core priorities—brand building and growth—the International Low-Altitude Expo offers a suite of customizable marketing solutions. The Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo aims to enhance exhibitors’ brand visibility, expand opportunities for customer engagement, drive on-site sales and foster follow-up collaborations, ultimately boosting return on investment (ROI).

The Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo features one plenary summit, one international forum, three thematic forums, numerous additional forums and matchmaking sessions, ten categories of competitive events, ten core award categories, hundreds of corporate roadshows, and hundreds of demonstration showcases of cutting-edge applications.

The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Low-Altitude Economy Expo

• The world’s first specialized expo covering the entire low-altitude economy value chain. Co-hosted by the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Donghao Lansheng Group, and Shanghai International Exhibition Group, this event is the only international professional gathering in China dedicated to the full low-altitude economy value chain. The inaugural edition spanned 60,000 square meters, bringing together nearly 300 leading global companies and attracting over 55,200 visitors, earning recognition as a key indicator of global low-altitude industry development. As a showcase for strategic emerging industries, the expo serves as a strategic gateway for companies to establish their market position, connect with global resources, and seize opportunities in the trillion-dollar blue‑ocean market.
• Full‑chain integration of “three chains,” with comprehensive coverage across five major sectors. Exhibits encompass low‑altitude infrastructure (general aviation airports, air traffic management systems), manufacturing (aircraft R&D and production, advanced materials, core components), transportation (eVTOLs, helicopters, logistics drones), urban and rural management (emergency response, law enforcement patrols, environmental protection), and commercial applications (agricultural and forestry pest control, surveying and mapping, cultural and tourism consumption). From hardware manufacturing to software services, from technological R&D to real‑world applications, the expo presents the innovative outcomes of deep integration among the low‑altitude economy’s industrial, application, and ecological chains.
• Bringing together world‑class enterprises to build an innovation hub. The expo features Shanghai’s “Four Little Dragons” of eVTOL manufacturers—WoFei ChangKong, WoLante, FengFei Aviation, and ShiDe Technology—alongside drone industry leaders such as United Aircraft, Tengdun SciTech, DJI, and Puzhou Technology. State‑owned enterprises including Sinopec, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom showcase cutting‑edge materials and IT solutions, while new‑energy propulsion firms like Zongshen Aeroengine and Hydrogen Aviation compete on the same stage. International giants such as UK’s Vertical Aerospace, Brazil’s Eve Air Mobility, and Italy’s Leonardo Aviation also participate, creating a high‑end platform for cross‑border technology exchange and industrial collaboration.
• A premier venue for global product launches, setting the pace for technological innovation. During the expo, more than 19 products made their global debut and 25 others debuted domestically, including the world’s first seven‑seat, three‑ton class multipurpose eVTOL, the first mass‑produced large hydrogen‑powered drone, flying car platforms, large fixed‑wing unmanned aircraft, aircraft range extenders, and electric propulsion systems. Innovative offerings such as Weixin Aerospace’s three‑ton medical rescue eVTOL, the AE200 “Smart Agile Cabin” co‑developed by WoFei ChangKong and FuWei Group, and Tianling Ke’s L600 hybrid range‑extended tiltrotor eVTOL were prominently showcased, providing companies with an authoritative stage to demonstrate their cutting‑edge capabilities and secure technological leadership.
• Over 30 high‑level forums delivering authoritative insights and fostering deep industry–academia–research–application collaboration. Concurrent events include the International Forum on Future Air Mobility, the Conference on Low‑Altitude Economic Infrastructure Development, and the Shanghai Low‑Altitude Economy Industry Innovation Conference, totaling more than 30 high‑profile activities. The Civil Airport Association of China released its “Research Report on the Framework of the Low‑Altitude Economy Infrastructure System,” while the Royal Aeronautical Society of the UK convened international experts to discuss opportunities for industry growth. Specialized forums on finance, law, and talent addressed critical pain points in industry–finance linkages, offering participating companies a high‑end think tank to navigate policy trends, access global resources, and gain insights into industry dynamics.
• Precise matchmaking with global buyers, establishing an efficient business‑to‑business platform. On the opening day alone, WoLante Aviation secured a US$1.75 billion eVTOL procurement agreement with Thailand’s Pan-Pacific Group, setting a new record for the largest single international order of a domestically produced passenger eVTOL. YuFeng Future signed strategic cooperation agreements with low‑altitude economy enterprises in Shanghai and Guangdong, while ShiDe Technology deepened industrial synergy with Shanghai’s low‑altitude economy development company. With overseas attendees spanning 25 countries and regions, the expo facilitated precise connections between Chinese low‑altitude enterprises and global market players through diverse dialogue platforms, further enhancing their visibility and collaboration opportunities within domestic and international supply chains.
• A multi‑dimensional fusion of “industry + application + consumption,” creating an immersive value ecosystem. Concurrent events include the National Aerospace Model Championship and the national drone football team selection trials, the Hongqiao Tiandi Low‑Altitude Themed Bazaar, and drone formation performances. Hundreds of demonstration flights highlighted the versatile applications of eVTOLs and drones across logistics, emergency response, agriculture, energy, and other fields. From B‑to‑B technology showcases to C‑to‑C consumer experiences, from professional competitions to public education initiatives, the expo provides participating companies with a comprehensive platform for deep engagement with professional audiences, purchasing decision‑makers, and end consumers.
