Zhibao Technology's Subsidiary, Sunshine Insurance Brokers, Expands into Low-Altitude Economy Insurance Market Through Strategic Cooperation with F+More
Strategic partnership positions Company to capitalize on China's fast-growing low-altitude insurance market opportunity projected at RMB 3.5 trillion by 2035 Shanghai, China--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - Zhibao Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: ZBAO) ('Zhibao,' 'we,' or the 'Company'), a leading and high growth InsurTech company primarily engaging in providing digital insurance brokerage services through its operating entities in China, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Insurance Brokers ('Sunshine'), has officially launched a strategic partnership with Sichuan Fanmo Technology Co., Ltd. ('F+More'), an innovative Chengdu-based insurance solution provider for China's rapidly expanding low-altitude economy. This partnership marks Zhibao's official entry into China's fast-expanding drone and low-altitude economy insurance market. We believe the strategic partnership positions Company to capitalize on China's fast-growing low-altitude insurance market opportunity in the next decade. Value Creation and Synergies in China's Drone Insurance Market Following the signing of the cooperation agreement in February 2025, the strategic partnership became operational in April 2025; Sunshine has commenced delivering digital insurance brokerage services to F+More's initial client base. These services are [beginning to be delivered] across China through the joint distribution networks of both companies, with an goal to cover all provinces and regions in China. This broad geographic reach positions Sunshine to capture market share in the emerging low-altitude insurance segment-a relatively untapped market opportunity with substantial growth potential. Through this strategic collaboration, Sunshine Insurance contributes its core competencies in digital insurance brokerage, proprietary Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technology infrastructure, and robust nationwide sales network. The integration of real-time flight data with dynamic risk assessment and alert mechanisms enables rapid online policy customization and distribution, as well as automated, event-driven claims processing. Through joint development and distribution of customized drone insurance products with F+More, we believe Sunshine is positioned to establish competitive advantages and drive innovation in the low-altitude insurance landscape across China and potentially in international markets. We believe this technological integration creates differentiated service capabilities that management believes will enable the partnership to capture meaningful market share as the drone insurance sector scales. Substantial Low-Altitude Economy Market Opportunities The low-altitude economy, which includes commercial drones, urban air mobility, and drone logistics, is emerging as a strategic growth frontier with significant long-term potential. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), China's low-altitude airspace economy exceeded RMB 500 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach RMB 3.5 trillion by 2035. Within this expanding ecosystem, the Swiss Re Institute projects the low-altitude insurance market could reach RMB 8-10 billion by 2035, highlighting the substantial growth potential for specialized insurance providers with appropriate capabilities and market positioning. Recent industry developments have accelerated commercialization momentum in the global low-altitude economy. The successful completion of the world's first public road test flight of a flying car by California-based Alef Aeronautics in February 2025 signals a critical inflection point, with the sector transitioning from conceptual development to commercial deployment. China maintains strategic advantages in drones, low-altitude logistics, and flight control systems, with leading companies such as XPeng HT Aero and EHang positioned to benefit from accelerating commercialization trends. We believe these market developments create a favorable environment for insurance providers with specialized capabilities and appropriate market positioning to pursue revenue opportunities as such insurance sector matures. 'We believe this partnership reflects our strategic vision to identify and capitalize on high-growth sectors such as the low-altitude economy,' said Botao Ma, CEO of Zhibao Technology Inc. 'F-More's deep expertise and extensive customer base, combined with Sunshine's digital insurance platform and strong marketing capabilities, create a powerful working synergy. We're confident this collaboration will accelerate access to tailored drone insurance solutions across China and set a new standard for innovation in the sector.' About Zhibao Technology Inc.

Hong Kong's vision for low-altitude economy needs urban reality check
'Chinese carmakers race to build early advantage in flying car ventures' read a headline in this newspaper last week, reporting on the latest efforts by the companies to become leaders in the ' low-altitude economy '. This buzz phrase, which encompasses everything from drone deliveries to autonomous flying taxis, seems to be viewed in Beijing as an important technological frontier. Not to be left behind, Hong Kong recently announced plans for cross-border electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) routes and 38 pilot projects. Hong Kong officials are talking up this sector with the certainty of a preordained future, aligned with the mainland's projections of a 2.5 trillion yuan (US$346.6 billion) market by 2035. But how relevant is this vision for our dense city of skyscrapers and congested pavements? Does it really have the scale of an 'economy' to justify the hype and public investment? Let's start with what should be obvious: flying taxis are not a scalable local transport solution for a city like Hong Kong. Even for those reluctant to use Hong Kong's excellent public transport system, taxis and cars provide a convenient point-to-point service, with access to virtually every location in the city via our extensive, and mostly uncongested, road system. Flying taxis will only have access to designated ' vertiports ', requiring additional walking or driving to complete most journeys. This removes much of the appeal for those who will be able to afford such services when compared to spending the entire journey in the back seat of a chauffeured car. There is a much better case to be made for eVTOL passenger services linking Hong Kong to cities around the Greater Bay Area. Flying over the complex geography of the region could cut travel times significantly compared to existing road and rail links. Unlike the current helicopter service from Shun Tak to Macau , eVTOL technology can probably scale up and support regular, scheduled routes, making them more accessible to the general public.
