About the seminar
To improve operational efficiency, keep pace with the times and maintain the international competitiveness of Hong Kong’s logistics industry and enterprises, the trend of digital transformation in the supply chain cannot be ignored. The programme “Promoting the Implementation of Digital Transformation Execution Capability in the Logistics Industry and Hong Kong Small and Medium-sized Enterprises” is organised by the Hong Kong Shippers’ Committee, with the Productivity Council as the executing agency, and is supported by the “Support Fund” of the Trade and Industry Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It holds a series of themed seminars on supply chain digital transformation and logistics development.
This seminar focused on the topical subject of the low-altitude economy. It analysed the market potential of the LAE and explored how the logistics and transportation industries can use the latest aviation technologies, such as drones and unmanned vehicles, to disrupt traditional transportation modes and achieve the digital transformation of drone logistics. The seminar also examined the elements needed to develop a low-altitude economy and the application of drone technology in new energy.
