Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On said yesterday that his government will study how to provide stronger support to young business start-uppers.
Chui made the remarks during a meeting with about 20 young start-uppers after attending the unveiling ceremony of a national co-working space at the Macau Young Entrepreneurs Incubation Centre in Nape.
Delivering a speech during yesterday’s ceremony, Francis Tam Pak Yuen, the chairman of the Parafuturo de Macau Investment and Development Limited which operates the incubation centre, said that his centre’s national co-working space was the first nation-level co-working space in Hong Kong and Macau, the establishment of which has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). The former secretary for economy and finance said that the co-working space’s establishment demonstrated the central government’s support of Macau’s innovation and entrepreneurship.
