To seize the strategic window created by upgraded low-altitude airspace controls in Beijing and the accelerated relocation of the drone industry, and to build on the results of two previous low-altitude industry promotion events held in Beijing and Tianjin, Beiguan District recently mobilized a team of over 40 people to conduct targeted investment outreach across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, focusing on precise matchmaking and chain-based promotion, achieving initial results.
Careful Preparation and Thorough Planning to Capture the Golden Window of Industrial Transfer
On September 20, Beiguan District held a mobilization and deployment meeting for drone industry investment promotion, conducting an in-depth analysis of the tightening low-altitude regulatory environment in Beijing and systematically arranging a new round of targeted investment outreach. According to relevant control requirements, starting from September 20, airspace within approximately 300 kilometers of Beijing and surrounding areas officially implemented a no-fly control zone, with only civil aviation and emergency rescue flights receiving special approval. From November 15, this will be further upgraded to a full-chain "no-storage" control regime, prohibiting the holding, storage, and transportation of drones and core components. These policy changes have triggered a realignment of the industrial landscape: many large science and technology enterprises are choosing to keep their headquarters in Beijing while relocating their physical operations, small and medium-sized manufacturers are planning full relocations, software simulation companies are retaining research and development while distributing production outward, and physical businesses such as manufacturing, batch flight testing, and warehousing operations are accelerating their outward migration. For Beiguan District, this represents a rare opportunity to attract low-altitude industry players. The meeting made clear that promotional materials would be optimized and updated, enterprise leads gathered from the Beijing and Tianjin promotion events would be fully leveraged, and business-to-business referral networks would be utilized to comprehensively launch door-to-door outreach across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, proactively extending cooperation invitations to companies across the drone industry chain.
Immediate Action and Targeted Outreach Sparking a Wave of Precise Matchmaking
From September 21 to 30, Beiguan District organized a drone industry investment task force comprising 12 teams with over 40 personnel from various subdistricts, the Blue Sky Laboratory, the Drone Quality Inspection and Testing Center, and the Taihang Low-Altitude Training School. They acted swiftly and launched intensive outreach across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, carrying enterprise leads accumulated from earlier efforts, coordinating with established local companies to conduct business-to-business referrals and chain-based promotion, and proactively engaging with research centers and testing centers at universities including Beihang University, Tsinghua University, and Tianjin Polytechnic University to share Beiguan's low-altitude industry story face to face. They introduced the district's airspace advantages, geographic conditions, business-friendly policies, and industry chain support to enterprises one by one, gaining a practical understanding of companies' real needs regarding relocation, capacity expansion, and project establishment. On September 23, Yuan Hao, Member of the Municipal Party Standing Committee and Party Secretary of Beiguan District, led a delegation to Beijing for high-level engagement, visiting Beijing Hydrogen Turbine Power Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Enli Power Technology Co., Ltd. successively. He held in-depth discussions with company executives on topics including project establishment, production capacity layout, technology transformation, and airspace support guarantees, providing detailed introductions to Beiguan District's comprehensive advantages for承接 Beijing's low-altitude industry relocation and its full-cycle service guarantee measures. Through face-to-face communication, he addressed companies' concerns about relocation and pragmatically advanced cooperation matters, laying a solid foundation for enterprises' subsequent establishment in Beiguan District.
Periodic Review and Sustained Momentum to Reassess, Intensify, and Set Off Again
Beiguan District held a periodic summary meeting on drone industry investment promotion, systematically reviewing the results of the targeted outreach. During this special operation, a total of 64 enterprises, research institutes, and testing agencies were contacted and visited, and 20 key prospective enterprises were shortlisted. Going forward, a ledger of prospective enterprises will be established, with dedicated personnel assigned for continuous follow-up and return visits, promoting early signing, early establishment, and early results for prospective projects. The meeting required that the window period for industrial relocation be firmly grasped, with continued concentrated efforts in October to tackle key challenges, focusing on four areas: first, strengthening both internal cultivation and external attraction, deeply exploring local industry chain supporting resources while actively undertaking external industrial projects to continuously fill, extend, and strengthen the chain; second, accelerating the approval of dedicated testing airspace to provide solid upfront guarantees, striving for enterprises to begin production and operations immediately upon establishment; third, energizing business-to-business referrals and chain-based promotion, making good use of the reputation resources of existing established enterprises to bring more upstream and downstream partners to develop in Beiguan; fourth, broadening the investment promotion circle of friends by linking with industry associations, universities and research institutes, and venture capital to tap quality industrial resources through multiple channels. The tide of low-altitude economy is rising, and opportunities are at hand. Next, Beiguan District will continue to seize the opportunities presented by industrial relocation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, using the sincerity of proactive outreach and considerate, efficient services to attract more drone and low-altitude economy enterprises to settle and take root, striving to build a growth pole for the low-altitude economy industry.
