In recent years, investment promotion has become the priority to promote the high-quality development of Chenzhou. Chenzhou made a typical speech at the provincial symposium on investment promotion held on February 5. It has also established a high-level joint operation command center for investment promotion, set up major investment promotion centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Changsha, and formed seven industrial chain investment promotion teams.

 

For the first trip for investment this year, an investment promotion team visited Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhou and other places in the Greater Bay Area. It conducted on-site inspections and exchanges with industry leaders, leading enterprises, and national “little giant” enterprises based on key industries and the actual development of Chenzhou.

 

Chenzhou has transformed into a more precise and targeted investment model.  Especially, it reaches out for information, demand, and policy in advance.

The low-altitude economy was included in the government work report for the first time during the 2024 “two sessions”. As a strategic emerging industry, it has ushered in new opportunities for development. In June, 2024, the first air-rail intermodal project integrating low altitude and rail in China was launched. Passengers could reach more than 90% of the Guangdong- Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area within one hour from the Shenzhen North Railway Station.

 

The development of low-altitude economy industry has policy support, demand in the market, and a foundation in Chenzhou. 

 

In 2021, Chenzhou issued the “General Aviation Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)” and the “‘14th Five Year Plan’ for the development of the general aviation industry”. As of now, 12 general airports have been included in the provincial aviation plan, and 32 projects related to low-altitude economy have been reserved. The cooperation between Chenzhou and Beidou Fuxi Technology Co., Ltd. has been put on the agenda. 

 

 

In the future, Chenzhou will make efforts in low-altitude tourism experience, aviation education and training, aviation sports base, comprehensive service application, and other aspects to improve the layout of factors related to low-altitude economy, explore low-altitude economy application scenarios, develop new models and formats of low-altitude consumption, in a bid to create a new highland for the development of low-altitude economy.

It’s the first eVTOL aircraft in the world with all three certificates. Due to the solid foundation and advantages of developing low-altitude economy in Chenzhou, the company expressed a strong intention to cooperate in areas such as low-altitude economy during its initial communication with Chenzhou.
