The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) — using airspace below 1,000m — integrates manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/eVTOLs), air traffic management, and digital infrastructure, transforming mobility, logistics, agriculture, disaster response, and nearly every aspect of daily work and life.
China’s LAE market is projected to reach the trillion-dollar scale within a decade, with even greater global potential. Signal processing and related digital technologies—covering aircraft design and operation, communications, navigation, surveillance, sensing, multimodal data fusion, and air traffic management—are at the core of this emerging sector.
Focused on the LAE’s market potential, technical challenges, and collaboration paths, this event connects industry and academia to explore the technologies and strategies driving sustainable low-altitude development. The program includes site visits, keynotes, invited talks, and panel discussions, all centered on signal processing as a key enabler of LAE growth.
