On August 1st, the Guangdong Provincial Government Service and Data Management Bureau issued the "Implementation Plan for Empowering Low altitude Economic High quality Development with Data in Guangdong Province". It is proposed that by the end of 2027, a trustworthy data space for the low altitude industry will be established, a number of low altitude data product service enterprises will be incubated, and an innovation driven, open and shared low altitude data industry ecosystem will be basically formed. The Plan proposes 15 main tasks in five aspects: improving low altitude data standards and specifications, consolidating the low altitude data base, strengthening the development and utilization of low altitude data, improving the low altitude data industry ecology, and enhancing low altitude data security guarantees. Among them, based on the real-life 3D Guangdong data base map, we will promote the integration and aggregation of data on urban buildings, transportation networks, etc., construct a low altitude data base map for the whole province, and establish a regular data update mechanism. Encourage low altitude enterprises to fully tap into the potential of data and explore new models and formats of low altitude economy such as urban short distance commuting and logistics distribution.
