作为“在粤欧洲企业走进广州”系列活动的第一站，我们将于2024年10月24日，一起走进专精特新“小巨人”企业 - 广州成至智能机器科技有限公司。2024年4月份，面对广东韶关和清远的洪灾，以及广州白云的龙卷风灾害，成至智能的应急救援队迅速响应，第一时间抵达现场，用先进的无人机载荷设备进行关键信息搜集，配合其他力量进行救援。这个应急队伍在2022年的东航坠机事故、以及2021年郑州特大暴雨中，也发挥了同样的作用。

As the first stop of the ‘European Enterprises Explore Guangzhou’ series, we will visit Guangzhou Chengzhi Intelligent Machine Technology Co. on October 24th, 2024. In April 2024, Chengzhi’s emergency rescue team swiftly responded to floods in Shaoguan and Qingyuan, and a tornado in Baiyun, Guangzhou, using advanced drone payloads to gather critical data and support rescue efforts. The team also made significant contributions to the response efforts for the China Eastern Airlines crash in 2022 and the Zhengzhou floods in 2021.

“低空经济”近年来得到了显著发展，并在今年首次被写入政府工作报告中。今天，无人机在摄影摄像、农业植保、载物运输、载人出行、应急救援、巡逻检查等领域的应用上日益成熟，展现出广阔的前景。让我们把时光倒流至十几年前，回到行业的萌芽时期，那时的创业者们面临着诸多选择与挑战，各自掌握的资源也不尽相同。而成至智能为何最终聚焦于应急救援领域？在他们深耕这一细分市场的过程中，又经历了哪些值得分享的故事呢？

The "low-altitude economy" has developed rapidly in recent years and was included in the government’s work report for the first time. Drones are now widely used in photography, agriculture, transport, emergency rescue, and patrols, showing great potential.Looking back over a decade, entrepreneurs faced many choices and challenges. Why did Chengzhi choose to focus on emergency rescue? What key stories emerged from their deep dive into this segment?
