The low-altitude economy includes economic activities that take place below 1,000 meters, and can be extended to below 5,000 meters depending on each country’s practical needs.

Vietnam’s low-altitude economy could reach $10 billion and
create 1 million jobs by 2035, the Government News quoted a report at the
international forum on Vietnam’s low-altitude economy in Hanoi  on November 14, as reporting.

The low-altitude economy includes economic activities that
take place below 1,000 meters, and can be extended to below 5,000 meters
depending on each country’s practical needs. It leverages both manned and
unmanned aerial technologies, as well as low-altitude smart networks, to
develop infrastructure, produce aerial vehicles, provide services, and ensure
aviation safety.

With advantages in geopolitics, innovation-friendly policies,
and a young, dynamic workforce, Vietnam has a huge opportunity to become a
regional and global hub for the low-altitude industry.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used in Vietnam in
all fields of agriculture, e-commerce logistics, smart cities, national defense
and security, as well as search and rescue operations.

At the forum, delegates proposed building policies in
developing a regulatory sandbox framework, expanding low-altitude airspace
management infrastructure, and promoting research and production of UAV to
serve socio-economic sectors. These efforts aim to open a new pathway for the
country in the era of low-altitude aviation, creating a foundation for
connecting resources, sharing knowledge, and accelerating the application of
advanced technologies.
