What is ARTOPIA? ARTOPIA is Asia’s first low-altitude cultural tourism innovation ecosystem, jointly created by X Social Group, Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), and Damoda. It transforms the sky above Victoria Harbour into a "digital canvas," utilizing 1,000-drone swarm formations to elevate the original artwork of vulnerable youth into a 100-meter-high immersive light spectacle. This project serves as a commercial benchmark for integrating the "Low-Altitude Economy + Art Charity".

In the latest installment of the HKBU "Spotlight" series, CEO of X Social Group Mr. Samuel Lam had the pleasure of joining Professor Rocky Chen to explore the burgeoning Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) - a sector poised to become a trillion-dollar global frontier. Our discussion centered not just on the technology of flight, but on the strategic infrastructure required to govern it.

The 15th Five-Year Plan emphasizes enhancing China’s global influence in future industries. In the trillion-dollar arena of the low-altitude economy, "standard-setting power" is "market leadership." The industry-led development of the world’s first "Drone Take-off Reliability Index (DTORI)" not only fills a technical gap but has also been successfully included in the HKSAR Government’s regulatory sandbox projects.
