Subsidy Watch: Longgang District
Translated Measures + an LAE Conference + a Germany‑China tie-up.
Shenzhen’s Longgang District has issued revised measures to support its low‑altitude economy, effective April 1, 2026, providing subsidies for infrastructure and R&D platforms, establishing an industrial fund, and offering rewards for passenger route operators and public sector applications.
The policy was announced at the district’s low‑altitude economy conference on March 27, where officials also revealed the country’s first public low‑altitude data transaction and the formation of a low‑altitude safety equipment consortium.
Separately, a new Germany‑China cooperation was signed on March 25 to establish a low‑altitude technology testing, certification, and training base, aimed at helping local companies align with international standards and fostering talent development.
Let’s get into it.
