As the low-altitude economy expands into a trillion-dollar industry, traditional "drone pilots" can no longer meet market demand. To become an immediate asset in the era of Embodied AI, professionals must equip themselves with the three core pillars of π-Shaped Hybrid Talent:

X Social Group is a pioneering force in Hong Kong's low-altitude economy and drone show domain. Since its founding in 2012, the company has successfully delivered over 100 large-scale performances in Hong Kong. Beyond transforming Victoria Harbour’s night sky into a breathtaking stage, X Social Group was the first enterprise to execute indoor drone light shows at iconic venues such as HKCEC, AsiaWorld-Expo, and Hong Kong International Airport - delivering aerial spectacles th

The HKSAR Government has officially announced the first batch of projects selected for the Low-Altitude Economy "Regulatory Sandbox X." X Social Group is proud to announce its successful inclusion in this inaugural government pilot list. Partnering with DAMODA and a cohort of leading low-altitude enterprises across mainland China and Hong Kong as core compliance partners, X Social Group is fully committed to spearheading the development of the Drone Takeoff Reliability Index

Mr. Samuel Lam Hon Yuen, CEO of X Social Group, was cordially invited to attend the high-level industry seminar Future of Urban Transportation: Low-altitude Economy (LAE) organized by the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), where he delivered a core keynote speech.

In this deep-dive interview, TVB explores how X Social Group is pioneering a paradigm shift in Hong Kong’s booming "low-altitude economy." The feature highlights how the company moves drone light shows beyond mere entertainment, transforming them into quantifiable, auditable ESG assets for forward-thinking corporations.

X Social Group is committed to the digital transformation and dynamic presentation of local cultural assets through cutting-edge drone formation technology. We have successfully translated the innocent artistic creations of children from the "ARTOPIA" initiative, as well as Hong Kong’s profound Intangible Cultural Heritage, into high-dimensional digital light languages.

Samuel Lam, CEO of X Social Group, acting in his dual role as Vice Chairman of the Organizing Committee, officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Professor Terence Lau, Chief Innovation Officer of HKBU. The signing was witnessed by Dr. Kennedy Wong, Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU, and Professor Alex Wai, President and Vice-Chancellor of HKBU.

ARTOPIA, however, represents an entirely new format: "ArtTech × Low-Altitude Economy × Social Responsibility." We have transformed the low-altitude economy into a vehicle for social care, ensuring that technology is no longer just cold data, but a cultural symbol with emotional resonance.

Industrial Integration & Innovation: HKBU and X Social Group will launch a deep collaboration focused on the "HKSAR Low-Altitude Economy Regulatory Sandbox Project." This partnership will focus on developing the "Drone Take-off Reliability Index" (DTORI) and promoting the ARTOPIA corporate social responsibility project to empower society through technology.

This monumental achievement was made possible through a powerful collaboration between industry leaders and government bodies. We extend our sincere gratitude to our partners who are making this vision a reality: Government Departments: Civil Aviation Department (CAD), Hong Kong Observatory, Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC).
