Nearly 300 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have applied to exhibit at a dedicated pavilion at the 27th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair in October.
Space allocated for the pavilion’s booths has already been doubled from 80 to 160. The exhibition also reduced exhibitors’ participation fees to promote “industry + MICE” cross-sectoral collaboration and facilitate industry recovery.
Experts have also been invited to share the latest information on industry development trends in two workshops held both on- and offline, with the aim of teaching SMEs before the actual event how to use online exhibition tools and live streaming to expand their product promotion and sales channels.
The first workshop was hosted on 18 August, which brought together 141 SME representatives online and offline. The second workshop is slated for 1 September at the China-Portuguese-speaking Countries Commercial and Trade Service Platform Complex.
SMEs will be assisted in obtaining business opportunities via pre-event communication and matching services, and a Consultation Zone which will offer SMEs advice from experts and representatives in different fields.
The exhibition is set to take place on 20-22 October at The Venetian’s Cotai Expo, The Macau Post Daily reported.
