Local small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are being offered a discounted exhibitor’s fee of just MOP 500 at the 27th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair’s (MIF) in October.
The fair will be held at the Venetian’s Cotai Expo from 20-22 October, with 160 rather than 80 booths for SMEs. The Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) said that the aim of expanding the SME Exhibition Area is to increase local consumption through the event and assist local enterprises in expanding markets.
The fair will cover areas such as local delicacies and souvenirs, home furnishings and electronic appliances, and a cultural and creative newcomers’ bazaar. A business services area will showcase MICE, education, logistics, trade, e-commerce, point-of-sale systems and design as well as Made in Macao products, Macao Brands, and local agents of products from Portuguese-speaking countries.
IPIM said that in order to simplify the application process, the 27th MIF will adopt online registration for the first time. Companies can submit applications through IPIM’s online application system (only available in Chinese) until 22 August. The number of MOP 500 booths is limited, with a raffle to be held in case of overbooking.
