As Macau serves as the platform for trade and economic cooperation between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries, as well as a member of the Greater Bay Area, the organizer provided a series of activities such as special roadshow for science and technology entrepreneur from Portuguese-speaking countries, innovation and entrepreneurship seminar for Chinese and Portuguese youth, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area youth forum. These activities were aimed to take Macau’s advantages as the platform and assist the development for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.

To strengthen the understanding and communication of Macau’s entrepreneurship and innovation platform for science and technology entrepreneurs from Portuguese-speaking countries, the Economic Bureau led a group of representatives from science and technology entrepreneurs from Portuguese-speaking countries to visit the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and exchanged ideas with representatives of centre’s incubation teams on September 6th.
