The 2025 Guangdong & Macao Branded Products Fair (2025GMBPF) is scheduled to take place from July 24 to 27 at Cotai Expo Hall D, The Venetian Macao in Cotai, according to a recent statement by Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM).
The statement underscored that the event is co-organised by IPIM and the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province. The statement added that the event aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Macau.
According to the statement, SMEs interested in participating can submit their applications by May 9 via IPIM’s online application system. The fair will focus on the “Silver Economy* and the China Chic Industry**”, facilitating market expansion and industrial transformation through a variety of activities, including business matching and specialised forums.
The statement highlighted that exhibitor recruitment is now open, with a discounted fee of 1,400 patacas available for eligible Macau enterprises. Applicants should feature products and services for seniors, smart home devices, and food and beverages. Priority will be given to enterprises with the “M-Mark” Macao Product Quality Certification, as well as Macau manufacturers and representatives of products from Portuguese-speaking countries, according to the statement.
The statement also noted that eligible Macau SMEs must be incorporated in Macau and registered with the Financial Services Bureau (DSF) for tax purposes for at least one year, with at least 50 percent of their shares owned by Macau residents. Due to the limited number of discounted booths, a lucky draw will be held if applications exceed availability.
For more information on registration, those interested can call 8798 9636.
