2026福布斯中国低空经济产业系列评选启动仪式在深圳南山海上世界艺术文化中心举行[1]。本届评选首次增设生态服务类奖项，将空域运营、低空数字基建、行业人才培育纳入核心评价维度[1]，标志着中国低空经济从单点技术突破向全链条协同创新转变。福布斯中国首席战略官晏格文表示中国低空经济已迈入全链条协同创新的发展周期[1]，低空经济具备十万亿级的市场成长空间[1]。
评选设置领航企业、新锐企业、创新场景、生态服务四大核心赛道[1]。深圳南山作为全国首个GDP突破万亿元的市辖区，已集聚500多家低空经济相关企业，形成"两区一廊"的产业空间布局[1]，成为此次评选的落地城区和低空经济落地成效的核心样本。
The inaugural ceremony for the 2026 Forbes China Low-Altitude Economy Industry Series Selection took place at the Shekou Sea World Arts and Culture Center in Shenzhen's Nanshan District[1]. This year's selection marks a significant expansion by introducing ecological services as a category for the first time, incorporating air domain operations, low-altitude digital infrastructure, and industry talent cultivation into core evaluation criteria[1]. The move reflects China's low-altitude economy transitioning from isolated technological breakthroughs toward comprehensive chain-wide collaborative innovation[1].
Nanshan District, which achieved the distinction of being the first municipal district in China to surpass 1 trillion yuan in GDP, has emerged as a hub for the sector, with over 500 low-altitude economy-related enterprises now concentrated in the region[1]. The district's spatial layout comprises "two zones and one corridor"[1], positioning it as both the host location for this selection and a key demonstration area for low-altitude economy implementation outcomes. The selection framework encompasses four primary tracks: leading enterprises, emerging enterprises, innovative scenarios, and ecological services[1].
According to Forbes China's Chief Strategy Officer Yan Gewen, the Chinese low-altitude economy has entered a development cycle characterized by full-chain collaborative innovation[1]. The sector is projected to command a market growth space measured in tens of trillions of yuan[1].
