Building Global AAM Ecosystems: HAYLION and Skyportz Forge Strategic Partnership to Co-Create the "Shenzhen Model" for Low-Altitude Economy​

In September 2025, Clem Newton-Brown, founder of Australia’s Skyportz, visited Shenzhen for in-depth cooperation talks with HAYLION, marking a key step in co-building the "Shenzhen Model" for the low-altitude economy. HAYLION’s core competitiveness lies in its "Technology-Driven × Ecosystem Co-creation × Operations Empowerment" 3D model, supported by 92 patents, participation in Shenzhen’s "1-30-300" low-altitude infrastructure planning, and self-developed modular VERTI-X vertiport system. It also plays a leading role in formulating China’s first local low-altitude standards and co-founding the AAM Innovation Center.

Clem’s immersive itinerary included inspecting Futian Port’s potential Verti-HUB transformation, visiting SUTPC for top-level design insights, experiencing Meituan’s drone logistics, and exchanging with Hong Kong Science Park’s R&D teams. The collaboration leverages Skyportz’s globally patented modular vertiport technology (solving downwash and safety issues) and HAYLION’s strong local execution capabilities, policy understanding, and ecological resources. This partnership validates HAYLION’s "Shenzhen Model" internationally, laying a solid foundation for global expansion.
