Macau trade exhibits in southwest China

The Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) held the “Dynamic Macau Week” trade exhibition in Yunnan province in southwest Mainland China, after around 500 business people registered for the online trade and cooperation trade platform created to promote the territory as a platform between Portuguese-speaking countries and Mainland China, IPIM stated.
Since 2009, IPIM has organised exhibitions in trade events across Mainland China. This year’s edition, which took place in Yunnan between June 4 and 6, featured more than 100 stands of made-in-Macau products, with a section for Portuguese-speaking countries’ food products.
One of the innovations described by IPIM was the possibility for exhibition visitors to directly buy the exhibited products online after scanning the product’s codes with their smartphones.
IPIM also stated that around 500 business people from Mainland China and Portuguese-speaking countries registered on the Economic & Trade Co-operation and Human Resources Portal between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (the Portal), during the event. The Portal, launched in 2015 by the Secretariat for Economy and Finance, was designed as an online information sharing platform for bilingual professionals to facilitate business co-operation, exchanges and interaction between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
The Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Forum Macao) also held a networking session between delegates from Portuguese-speaking countries and Yunnan business people from a number of different industry sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, renewable energies and agriculture, according to Forum Macao.
