For the purpose of promoting the development of local cultural and creative industries, the Cultural Affairs Bureau is now launching the fifth phase of the “Cultural and Creative Industries Information Collection Project”.

This database aims to collect information on all professional companies and institutions in the local film & video, as well as anime & comic industries, respectively.

In addition, the current phase also seeks information on all professional companies or institutions that tender cultural and creative products, project planning, technical support, provision of activities venues, or any other related services. From now until 31 March 2011, all relevant parties are invited to submit information to the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Information collection forms can be downloaded from the Cultural Affairs Bureau website (www.icm.gov.mo/dpicc).

The establishment of this Database will facilitate the government’s enactment of favourable policies towards the development and promotion of Macao’s cultural and creative industries. Furthermore, the Cultural Affairs Bureau also envisions the creation of a dedicated website, and the publication of a magazine. These information platforms will allow users to freely access and exchange information related to the cultural and creative industries of Macao.

Interested parties should complete and submit the form, along with supporting electronic files, to the Department for the Promotion of Cultural and Creative Industries of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, located at Praça do Tap Seac. For enquiries, please call 8399 6919 (Ms. Lam or Ms. Lao) during office hours or email us at info.dpicc@icm.gov.mo.
