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.

Mr. Samuel Lam, CEO of X Social Group, was invited today by the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government to attend the "2026 Hong Kong International Visual Arts Education Symposium" and deliver a keynote speech titled "Reshaping Hong Kong's Cultural Heritage: Art Led by Drones."

ARTopia is honored to debut at the Hung Hom New Waterfront, marking a new chapter in "Cultural Deep Tourism." This is more than a visual feast; it is a gateway for global travelers to experience the "friendly, inclusive, and warm" spirit of Hong Kong.ARTopia is honored to debut at the Hung Hom New Waterfront, marking a new chapter in "Cultural Deep Tourism."

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.

Every child carries a unique canvas within their heart, yet they often lack the stage to show it to the world. X Social Group, in collaboration with Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), has launched the ARTOPIA ESG Project. We believe that technology should not be mere cold data, but a paintbrush that carries warmth. In this initiative, cutting-edge drone technology transcends its role as machinery, transforming into "digital constellations.

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.

X Social Group launched the IP Artopia charity project, uniting Hong Kong Baptist University and charitable organizations. This is not just a cross-sector collaboration; it is an experiment in "Technological Empowerment."

Nominated by HKPC, CCIDA, and the HKDEA to showcase HK's Art Tech strength through "Drone Shows," X Social Group traveled to Europe with a mission: to "Standardize" and "Internationalize" the HK experience. At the forum, the team demonstrated how to utilize precise drone formation technology to transform the sky into an "Urban Aerial Canvas."

X Social Group is honored to have brought our expertise in the #LowAltitudeEconomy to the core of the 2025 MAMA Awards, serving as the official professional aerial livestreaming partner. Amidst the dazzling lights of the Kai Tak Sports Park, we were not merely recorders of history, but elevators of the visual experience.

Breathing Soul into "Art Voyager . Wishes Upon Stars" If tonight's National Games performance showcased the "Beauty of Technology" on a grand scale, then next year's "Art Voyager . Wishes Upon Stars" Charity Show will be an "Artistic Miracle" that strikes straight at the heart.

Where does this "warmth" come from? It comes from genuine humanistic care and deep emotional resonance. This is the core mission of the "Art Voyager . Wishes Upon Stars" project, led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and X SOCIAL GROUP, with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) as the beneficiary.

Charity + Art-Tech: Pioneering a New Model for Philanthropic Collaboration Following the launch of Hong Kong's first "Low-Altitude Economy and Drone Show" training course with Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in 2024, X Social Group is upgrading the collaboration in 2025 with the "Art Voyager . Wishes Upon Stars" (藝航天下・童夢星願) charitable drone show. The core concept is "Letting Dreams Soar Over Victoria Harbour," transforming drawings by children from Ronald McDonald House

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).

As Thousands of drones lit up the night sky over Victoria Harbour, arranging themselves into symbols exclusive to SEVENTEEN and CARAT and drawing gasps from the crowd, a quiet “battle of guardianship” had already been waged behind the scenes. Beneath the brilliance stands an invisible commander—the “Drone Take-off Reliability Index”. It is the sole criterion that guarantees every performance can lift off steadily and unfold flawlessly.

At the launch ceremony, government representatives, DTORI committee members, and legislator Elizabeth Quat emphasized the project's significance for Hong Kong's smart city development. Experts including Justin Yeung, Samuel Lam, Dr. Edwin Hui, Elizabeth Quat, and committee secretary Michele Ho shared in-depth insights on technological breakthroughs and implementation pathways. A strategic cooperation signing ceremony was also held, with the Greater Bay Area Low-Altitude Econo

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.
