Low-Altitude Economy
AI Supercomputing Centre (AISC) Cyberport was appointed by the HKSAR Government as the venue partner for the “Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) Regulatory Sandbox”, complementing the implementation of pilot projects to seize new opportunities brought by LAE and driving development of new quality productive forces.
The Cyberport campus features large outdoor and waterfront spaces, away from drone flight restriction zones. Additionally, the campus is equipped with advanced IT and communication infrastructure, including the Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre (AISC) providing high-performance computing power to empower the spatial data applications of the pilot projects, accelerate the AI technology development and intelligent upgrade. With comprehensive wireless network coverage and dedicated data centre, Cyberport can support wireless mobile communication and system infrastructure needs for drone flight tests. The pier at Cyberport waterfront park is equipped with charging facilities and medium-sized unmanned aircraft take-off and landing points, facilitating simultaneous operation of multiple drones, testing of trial flights over the sea and thus realising a seamless connection between the sea, land and air. They can also serve as an intermediate supply station for power replenishment for longer drone flights. Furthermore, Cyberport offers areas with different terrains and development densities as a rich variety of simulated application scenarios to support various low-altitude flight tests. With the completion of Cyberport 5, the campus facilities will be further enhanced to unleash greater potential of LAE activities.
As a supporting organisation of the Greater Bay Area Low-altitude Economy Alliance, Cyberport actively engage with various industry organisations and start-ups to explore collaboration opportunities, including partnerships with KC Smart Mobility and EHang to jointly promote the research and application of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Cyberport start-ups are also actively developing a diverse range of innovative drone applications, covering geographic information systems, construction and environmental surveying, logistics delivery, drone programming, and more. Additionally, Cyberport brings together over 350 start-ups focusing on R&D of artificial intelligence and data science, IoT, and robotics, to support the development of low-altitude traffic systems and more LAE applications. Furthermore, over 20 leading technology companies and start-ups at Cyberport specialising in cybersecurity help enhance network and data security levels on the campus, providing a secure, stable and efficient application environment for drone applications.
