There are 1,300 drone companies in Shenzhen

[Shenzhen Business News] (Chief Reporter Yuan Jingxian) As one of the major events of the 7th World Drone Conference, the Drone Microwave Communication Forum was recently held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Industry insiders and experts from scientific research institutes, manufacturing, policy formulation, investment and financing gathered together to exchange ideas on expanding innovative applications of drones, exploring new communication technologies for drones, and promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the low-altitude economy. , creating more strategic development opportunities for UAV and microwave communication companies.

Shenzhen is known as the "UAV Capital". Data shows that as of the end of 2022, there were 15,000 drone operating companies across the country, with an annual output value of 117 billion yuan, 950,000 registered drones, approximately 386 million real-time drone flights, and approximately 16.689 million flight hours. Among them, there are more than 1,300 drone companies in Shenzhen, with an output value of 75 billion yuan.

In the theme report session, experts expressed their insights on the technical pain points and problems faced by the current industrialization of drones and the further development of the low-altitude economy, as well as the new trends in the future development of the drone industry. He Zhibin, a well-known aerospace expert and academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, introduced that the communication method commonly used by drones is microwave communication. However, as various types of drones are widely used in the industrial field, communication security requirements are getting higher and higher. Quantum communication technology The development of quantum communication provides a revolutionary solution for drone communication and data transmission.

As an important part of the development of the low-altitude economy, Shenzhen's drone industry has outstanding advantages and rapid development in key sectors. However, it is also currently facing Facing the two-way challenge of “supply and demand”. Low-altitude economic entities represented by general aviation have a weak foundation and are still in the primary stage of development and lack sufficient top-level design. He suggested strengthening the top-level design of low-altitude economic development, accelerating the introduction and implementation of relevant policies and regulations, strengthening the military-civilian coordination mechanism, and strengthening the construction of scientific and technological support and management and control means.
