Next month’s Macao International Trade and Investment Fair’s (MIF) will host the event’s first themed business matching session titled Innovation-driven Investment and Financing Project Matching.
The 27th MIF is due to be held from 20-22 October at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo. The 2022 Macao Franchise Expo (2022MFE) and 2022 Portuguese-speaking Countries Products and Services Exhibition (Macao) (2022PLPEX) will also be held during the same period.
The themed session is co-organised by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute and the Macao Innovation Investment Union Association. It is supported by the Macao Monetary Authority and the Financial Development Bureau of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone.
The themed business matching session aims to gather private funds, innovation-driven investment funds, financial investment institutions, traditional Chinese medicine and big health projects, technological innovation projects as well as outstanding projects proposed by small- and medium-sized enterprises to discover investment and development opportunities and attract investment through MIF’s platform.
The overall goal is to achieve a mutually beneficial situation and promote the development of Macao’s modern financial industry. The session is divided into “business matching between innovation investment institutions and project proponents”, and “business matching among innovation investment institutions”.
Twenty projects have so far been requested in business matching between financial investment institutions and project proponents, covering areas including TCM and big health.
Big health aims to deliver a full suite of health services that cover the entire care continuum, with an emphasis on health management and chronic disease management, according to the central government.
Financial investment institutions will be coordinated by the organiser to make the preliminary selection of projects and arrange one-on-one matching sessions during the event.
The Macao Innovation Investment Union Association has invited 11 innovation investment institutions for business matching, while the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province – the event’s Partner Province, has assisted in inviting seven institutions.
Zhejiang and Macao’s innovation investment institutions can be matched to promote the local economy’s “appropriate diversification”, The Macau Post Daily reported.
