📋 Tender Overview
On November 14 in Hanoi, the Vietnam Low-Range Economic International Forum 2025 attracted the participation of businesses, innovation networks and international partners. With the goal of realizing Resolution 57 on scientific and technological breakthroughs, the event emphasizes the potential of UAVs and aviation and space technology in low-altitude economic development, opening up a new, sustainable industry and is a pillar for the digital economy, smart cities and modern agriculture. Golden time for the low-altitude economic sector. Low-altitude economy is understood as economic activities that take place below an altitude of 1,000 m and can expand to 5,000 m depending on each countrys needs. This field takes advantage of unmanned and unmanned flight technology and low-altitude intelligent networks to develop infrastructure, produce flight equipment, accompanying services and ensure flight safety. Applications range from agriculture, logistics, environmental monitoring, traffic to communications and entertainment, thereby exploiting the lower atmosphere, which has not been used effectively. In his opening speech, Mr. Vu Anh Tu - Director of Technology of FPT Group emphasized that the global market has reached a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars, growing 30% each year and is identified as a strategic industry by large economies such as the US, China, and Europe.

He said that Vietnams sky is opening up an unprecedented development space, especially when the Mekong Delta is becoming the largest UAV application area in the country, as well as a testing area for many international corporations. Mr. Vo Xuan Hoai - Deputy Director of NIC affirmed that aerospace and UAVs are one of the global strategic industries, with 70% of the UAV market share in the hands of large enterprises, creating competition. strong between the US, China and many other countries. This is an opportunity for Vietnam to deeply participate in the value chain, from research and equipment manufacturing to software development, AI and flight management.

He also highlighted the technological autonomy efforts of Vietnamese UAV businesses and emphasized the need for close coordination between the State, businesses, research institutes and international partners. A notable step forward is that NIC has just proposed to establish the first UAV test flight space in Vietnam. This is the premise for commercializing domestic products. The intersection of digital economy, green economy, knowledge economy Analyzing the development potential of the low-level economic sector, Mr. Vu Anh Tu, Director of Technology of FPT Group pointed out that the low-level economy opens up opportunities to form a completely new industry in Vietnam. Not only producing UAVs, but also including equipment, chips, sensors, building flight management platforms and 3D digital maps, developing operating services, insurance, training, and applications in agriculture and other fields. This is the intersection of digital economy, green economy and knowledge economy. Each UAV flight combines data, artificial intelligence (AI), clean energy and the technical knowledge of Vietnamese engineers. Investing in the low-level economy is investing in the three new development pillars of Vietnamese science. Analysis at the forum shows that the low-level economy not only opens up new industries but also directly improves productivity throughout the economy. In agriculture, a sector that accounts for 12-14% of GDP and uses up to 40% of labor, UAVs are making a leap in automation: a spraying UAV can treat 67 hectares/day, while manual labor only reaches about 1 hectare. Vietnams agricultural robot market is forecast to reach 400 million USD by 2030. Speaker Tran Anh Tuan, CEO of Vietnam Aviation, Space and Unmanned Aerial Devices Network discussed at the forum - Photo: VGP/ Thanh Huyen In logistics, when e-commerce is aiming for 63 billion USD by 2030, UAVs are expected to help sharply reduce delivery costs, especially in complex terrain areas. Trials in Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang and Lang Son have brought positive results. In large cities, UAVs will make an important contribution to traffic monitoring, infrastructure safety, smart urban management and emergency response. In the field of smart cities, UAVs are expected to become an effective tool in infrastructure monitoring, traffic management and improving emergency response capabilities. Exploiting low-altitude economic space is not only an economic issue but also directly related to safety, security and national response capacity. Key areas of UAV application The forum also recorded many strategic proposals, such as building a technology testing sandbox, developing low-altitude airspace management infrastructure, promoting research and production of UAV/UAM to serve socio-economic fields. These initiatives are kExpected to open a new direction for Vietnam in the low-level economic era, creating a platform to connect resources, share knowledge and promote the application of modern technologies.
