the “Drone Take-off Reliability Index” championed by Mr. Samuel lam, CEO of X Social Group, deserves special attention. By integrating meteorological, topographical and technical parameters into a rigorous risk-assessment model, the index sets precise safety benchmarks and provides insurers with actuarially sound data. Beyond its local impact, the index positions Hong Kong as an international reference for low-altitude regulation and could catalyse the global upgrading of gov

The Drone Take-off Reliability Index (DTORI) is more than a technology product—it is Hong Kong’s strategic fulcrum for leading the “canopy revolution” in the low-altitude economy. By forging a globally recognised safety-assessment standard, DTORI will unblock the “Ren-Du meridians” of scaled low-altitude applications, unlock a trillion-dollar market, and propel Hong Kong from a regional hub to Global Standard Maker in the low-altitude economy.

Since its establishment at Cyberport in 2023, X Social Group has successfully organized nearly 100 drone shows in Hong Kong, amassing extensive experience. The company is continuously refining its drone show technology. The "Drone Takeoff Reliability Index" project

Central to Hong Kong’s ambitions is the Drone Takeoff Reliability Index, a sandbox initiative led by X Social Group, Damoda, Universities, Cross-Government Departments and Other LAE Stakeholders. By analyzing flight data from thousands of drones used in large-scale light shows, the project aims to achieve a 99.999% safety reliability standard. Partnering with the Hong Kong Observatory, this effort merges real-time weather insights with advanced algorithms to define global saf
