"Zhongshan had provided us with a lot of support and a test flight site for our drones when we came here to start a business. Now four years have passed, and we feel that we have come to the right place."

Liu Shiyi and Xie Ling, the two founders of FCourier Aviation Technology Co Ltd, came to Zhongshan from Shanghai to start a business in 2018. "We are grateful for Zhongshan, therefore we are working harder in product development and putting efforts in developing industry-university-research cooperation with universities and colleges."

FCourier Aviation is located in Tan's Park in Tanzhou Town. It is mainly specializing in the R&D, operation and marketing of high-performance drones and flight control systems.

"In consideration of the talent policies and services and support from local government of Tanzhou, we finally chose to start the company here. We are also very optimistic about the supply chain foundation of aviation, motor and composite material processing in Zhongshan and surrounding areas." Liu Shiyi said.

FCourier Aviation has an independent R&D team nad production lines. Its original retractable vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drones have applied for patents in China, Europe, Australia, Canada and other countries and regions and are widely used in such fields as aerial patrol, emergency response and 3D mapping.

In March this year, FCourier Aviation signed a strategic cooperation agreement with ACES, one of the largest ICT aggregators in Saudi Arabia. The company will deepen its cooperation with ACES and its subsidiary Aerial Solutions in the industrial drone field. This signals FCourier Aviation has started to tap into the international market.
