The 27th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair’s (MIF) first themed business matching session titled “Innovation-driven Investment and Financing Project Matching” is set to debut on the event’s first day, according to a statement on Saturday from the Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM).
The 27th MIF is slated to be held from October 20-22 at the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo. The statement noted that 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 IPIM, the Macau Innovation Investment Union Association. It is supported by the Macau Monetary Authority (AMCM) and the Financial Development Bureau of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone.
The themed business matching session, the statement said, will gather “private funds, innovation-driven investment funds, financial investment institutions, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and big health projects, technological innovation projects as well as outstanding projects proposed by small- and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs]” to discover investment and development opportunities and attract investment through MIF’s platform.
The statement added that its goal is to achieve a “mutually beneficial and win-win situation” and promote the development of Macau modern financial industry. The session is divided into “business matching between innovation investment institutions and project proponents”, and “business matching among innovation investment institutions”.
According to the statement, 20 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 statement added.
Meanwhile, the Macau 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, the statement underlined.
Zhejiang and Macau’s innovation investment institutions can be matched to promote the local economy’s “appropriate diversification”, the statement added.
The statement said that the application deadline for finding match partners is September 30, while registration and further enquiries can be made by contacting IPIM representative Ms. Leung on 8798 9151 or Mr. Ho 8798 9196, or emailing nikkileung@ipim.gov.mo.
