Conference Overview

To accelerate a sustainable development of the aviation sector and related industries, the Center for Applied Economic, Social and Environmental Research (CAESER) and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) are hosting the second annual International Aviation Technology and Business Conference, which will be held on Friday Nov 15 at the Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study, on HKUST campus.

This year, the conference will be focused on the theme of Low Altitude Economy (LAE), which encompasses the so-called Urban Air Mobility (UAM); LAE and UAM constitute the next big revolution for the aviation sector, a revolution which will ultimately lead the science-fiction fantasy of “flying cars” turning into reality. Such a revolution is about to happen, worldwide, and it will re-shape entirely the aviation sector, whether in terms of technology, economy, infrastructures, societal impact, etc. It is thus vital for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area to anticipate such a paradigm shift of the aviation sector, to get ready for the day it will occur. With that end in view, the conference will constitute a unique and pivotal concertation platform, fostering the dialogue among all key stakeholders concerned by this emerging industry and related businesses; By promoting exchanges among representatives from the industry, government, and academia, the conference will help figuring out how LAE and UAM could benefit Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, and vice versa.

Featuring internationally renowned speakers, this one-day conference will bring together aviation experts and business partners, to deliver insights into the latest technology advancements pertaining to LAE and UAM whilst paving the way to potential collaborations, partnerships and investment opportunities. The conference impacts and benefits will be two-fold, namely, a sharing of information among all stakeholders concerned with LAE, and their professional networking to foster the development of this industry in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.

About IATBC

The International Aviation Technology and Business Conference (IATBC) aims to be the annual highlight for the global aviation industry by bringing together the world's leading experts in aviation technology, business leaders, policymakers, and academic elites. The conference is dedicated to fostering innovation and development in international aviation technologies and deepening the integration of technology and business, thereby injecting new momentum into the sustainable development of the global aviation industry.

Currently, the development of global aviation technology is in a phase of rapid transformation, including advancements in drone technology, electric aircraft, and the emerging sector of the low-altitude economy. For instance, the rise of the low-altitude economy is becoming an important segment in the field of aviation technology, with emerging business models like drone delivery and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) showing broad commercial prospects that could significantly improve urban traffic conditions and enhance logistics efficiency.

The core topics of the conference will cover the latest research and applications of aviation technology, market trends in the aviation industry, practical applications of technology in business environments, and their impacts on the environment and society. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, case studies, and technology exhibitions, IATBC offers participants an ideal platform to showcase innovations, exchange ideas, expand networks of partners, and explore business opportunities.

We believe that the annual International Aviation Technology and Business Conference will not only strengthen cooperation and exchange in the field of global aviation technology but also promote the commercialization of related technologies, opening up new business opportunities and growth paths for participants. Here, every researcher, developer, business promoter, and decision-maker in the field of aviation technology will find their stage to jointly write a new chapter in the integration of aviation technology and business
