<p>香港当局已收到超过 100 份关于创新无人机使用的申请，以开创该市的 “低空经济”，运输部长表示，一些试点项目预计将在三个月内启动。运输及物流局局长陈帆还承诺将推动更先进的运输技术，以便在 2026 年将试验转变为日常使用。在周六发布的运输及物流局网站的博客中，陈帆表示 “行业对此反应热烈”，截至上月底申请截止时，已收到超过 100 份提交。低空经济是一个新兴领域，专注于在 1 公里（3,280 英尺）以下空域进行的活动，如无人机使用。陈帆表示：“政府工作组正在详细审查申请，目标是在今年上半年逐步推出试点项目。” 根据国家低空经济的发展，香港领导人李家超在 2024 年的施政报告中宣布，将成立一个政府工作组，以促进和便利低空飞行活动潜在应用场景的测试。推动 “监管沙盒” 试点项目是其主要任务之一。该沙盒旨在使行业能够在预定义的空中航线和受控安全的方式下测试和进行一些项目概念的试验。它还允许政府收集数据，以确保申请的有效性并满足安全和可靠性要求。基于去年第一批沙盒项目的成功，政府在去年底推出了 “监管沙盒 X” 计划的新一轮申请，申请于 2 月份截止。第一批选定了 38 个试点项目，包括一个使用无人机从薄扶林的数码港向长洲的圣约翰医院递送药品的项目。陈帆写道：“加上去年 ‘监管沙盒’ 中约 20 个已进入常规和规模化运营的项目，低空经济的发展将为各个行业的人才创造丰富的机会。” 她还描绘了低空经济在 2026 年发展的美好前景，称其为 “关键一年”，届时先进的运输技术将从实验概念转变为成熟的产业。陈帆补充道：“我们预计多项创新运输技术将在今年从测试环境转入日常生活，这进一步坚定了我的信念：我们所见的不仅仅是未来技术创新的愿景，而是能够推动现实世界发展的未来产业的出现。” 部长还表示，从研究人员和工程师到操作员的无人机相关职业，也将成为年轻人的 “新优质职业路径”。陈帆表示：“香港正在积极规划多方面的人才发展，为他们的成长提供肥沃的土壤。” 目前，八个民航处认可的机构提供无人机操作员认证培训和评估。非本地资格也可以申请认可。作为沙盒合作伙伴的香港生产力促进局正在为所谓的 C 类小型无人机（重量在 25 公斤至 150 公斤之间）以及超视距长距离操作准备新课程。职业训练局已经为超过 500 名学生提供了无人机操作、智能运输和航拍等领域的培训。香港国际航空学院也正在申请成为认可的培训机构，以提供培训无人机飞行员和维护人员的课程。同时，香港大学和理工大学也推出了与低空经济相关的硕士课程，涵盖飞行原理、空域管理、飞机设计和基础设施工程等内容，陈帆表示。</p>

<p>Hong Kong authorities have received more than 100 applications for innovative drone usage to pioneer the city’s “low-altitude economy”, with some pilot projects set to launch as early as in three months, the transport minister has said. Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan also pledged to push more advanced transport technologies to transition from trials to everyday use in 2026. In a blog post on the Transport and Logistics Bureau’s website on Saturday, Chan said “the industry responded enthusiastically” to the government’s calls, with more than 100 submissions received by the end of last month, when applications closed. The low-altitude economy is an emerging sector focused on activities such as drone use in airspace below 1km (3,280 feet). “The [government] working group is reviewing the applications in detail, with the goal of launching pilot projects progressively in the first half of this year,” Chan said. In line with the nation’s development of a low-altitude economy, Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu announced in his policy address in 2024 that a government working group would be set up to foster and facilitate the testing of potential application scenarios for low-altitude flying activities. Promoting “regulatory sandbox” pilot projects was among its major tasks. The sandbox aims to enable the industry to test and conduct trials on some project concepts along predefined air routes and in a controlled and safe manner. It also allows the government to collect data to ensure applications work and meet safety and reliability requirements. Based on the success of the first batch of sandbox projects last year, the government launched a new round of applications under a “regulatory sandbox X” scheme late last year. Applications closed in February. Thirty-eight pilot projects were selected in the first batch, including one using drones to deliver medicine from Cyberport in Pok Fu Lam to St John Hospital on Cheung Chau. “Together with the around 20 projects from last year’s ‘regulatory sandbox’ that have already entered regular and scaled-up operations, the development of the low-altitude economy will create abundant opportunities for talent across different sectors,” Chan wrote. She also painted a rosy picture of the low-altitude economy’s development in 2026, describing it as a “pivotal year” in which advanced transport technologies would move from experimental concepts to full-fledged industries. “We expect multiple innovative transport technologies to transition from testing environments into everyday life this year, reinforcing my conviction that what we are witnessing is not merely a vision of future technological innovation, but the emergence of future industries capable of driving real‑world development,” Chan added. The minister also said that drone-related professions, from researchers and engineers to operators, would also become “new quality career pathways” for young people. “Hong Kong is actively planning talent development across multiple fronts to provide fertile ground for their growth,” Chan said. At present, eight Civil Aviation Department-accredited organisations offer drone operator certification training and assessment. Non-local qualifications can also be recognised upon application. The Hong Kong Productivity Council, a sandbox partner, is preparing new courses for so-called Category C small drones weighing between 25kg and 150kg, and also long-range beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations. The Vocational Training Council has already provided training to more than 500 students in areas including drone operation, smart transport and aerial photography. The Hong Kong International Aviation Academy is also applying to become an approved training organisation to offer courses to train drone pilots and maintenance personnel. Meanwhile, the University of Hong Kong and Polytechnic University have also launched master’s programmes related to the low‑altitude economy, covering flight principles, airspace management, aircraft design and infrastructure engineering, according to Chan.</p>
