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.

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.

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

Mr. Samuel Lam, Convener of the Drone Take-Off Reliability Index Committee and CEO of X Social Group, said: “DTORI is more than a technological product; it is the strategic fulcrum for Hong Kong to lead the ‘aerial revolution’ of the low-altitude economy. By establishing a globally recognised safety standard, DTORI will unlock the full potential of large-scale low-altitude applications, catalysing a trillion-dollar market and propelling Hong Kong from a regional hub to a glob

By gazetting the increase of Class C drones' weight limit to 150 kg, and clarifying insurance requirements, flight operation permits and other standards, Hong Kong has officially set off on the path of building a standardized system for the low-altitude economy. This has laid a solid foundation for the innovative development of the entire industry.

As the low-altitude economy surges, this issue of Capital Magazine delves into the "Low-Altitude Economy Regulatory Sandbox" with a focus on the future of the low-altitude economy. The interviewees include Dr. Ricky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport; Ir Sunny Lee, BBS, JP, Chairman of ASTRI; Legislative Council member Ms. Elizabeth Quat SBS JP; and Samuel Lam, CEO of X Social Group.
