During the forum, participants engaged in lively and in-depth discussions on the latest research findings, cutting-edge trends, and profound impact of remote sensing technology on economic and social development. Several renowned experts delivered keynote speeches, sharing successful application cases of remote sensing technology in various fields such as environmental monitoring, agricultural and forestry management, marine resource exploration, geological surveys, and smart city construction, demonstrating the enormous potential and broad scope of remote sensing technology in empowering new types of productivity.

"Remote sensing technology provides powerful information acquisition tools for various industries by offering high-precision and wide-ranging data support. This data can be applied to multiple fields such as ecological environment monitoring, water quality monitoring, precision agriculture, and geological exploration, thereby promoting the intelligent and refined development of these industries and ultimately improving the overall productivity level," said Li Zhizhong, Academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, Chief Expert of Remote Sensing Applications at Xi'an Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., and Expert at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Satellite Center.

In addition, the forum included an interactive exchange session where attendees actively asked questions, shared their experiences, and jointly explored the future development direction and cooperation opportunities of remote sensing technology. Several exhibiting companies showcased their latest remote sensing technologies and products, providing attendees with a direct and engaging experience.

During the forum's panel discussion, Lan Yuange, Deputy General Manager of Xi'an Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD Technology Co., Ltd., stated: "It is a great honor to participate in this expert meeting on commercial aerospace remote sensing. Our company has been committed to expanding and applying remote sensing satellite data services, and has already established strong service capabilities in multiple fields. We are currently building the Xiguang-1 hyperspectral remote sensing satellite constellation, including a constellation of 108 remote sensing satellites, a constellation of 40 dual-carbon monitoring satellites, and a constellation of 10 functional satellites (ocean, agriculture, forestry, and minerals), with the ambitious plan to eventually achieve 158 satellites in orbit. The construction of these constellations will provide us with more comprehensive, accurate, and real-time Earth observation data, laying a solid foundation for the widespread application of remote sensing technology in the field of new productive forces."

The experts at the meeting unanimously agreed that remote sensing technology, as an important component of modern information technology, is playing an increasingly vital role in the development of new productive forces. The successful holding of this forum not only deepened the industry's understanding of the application prospects of remote sensing technology, but also injected new impetus and vitality into promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading in related fields.

The organizers stated that they will continue to strengthen cooperation with authoritative institutions such as the Expert Committee of the China Remote Sensing Application Association, and regularly hold similar high-level forums and seminars to build a broader platform for exchange and cooperation among experts, scholars and industry elites in the field of remote sensing technology, and jointly promote the widespread application and in-depth development of remote sensing technology in the field of new productivity.

This event received strong support and widespread attention from relevant departments in Shaanxi Province, laying a solid foundation for promoting the popularization and application of remote sensing technology in Shaanxi and even across the country.
