The Government will step up regional economic cooperation, especially within the Pan Pearl River Delta, in order to achieve Macao’s long-term goal of economic diversification and sustainable growth.

Speaking at the launch of the Green Business Co-operation Day held alongside the 2009 MIECF, Secretary for Economy and Finance Mr Francis Tam explained that the Government was also trying to ensure sustainable development by striving to foster service industries and emerging industries, including the green industry and the convention industry.

By showcasing global eco-solutions and green technologies, the MIECF aims to promote technology transfer and nurture development of the environmental industry, he said.

This year the MIECF has added new events such as the Green Business Co-operation Day in order to attract wider business participation and encourage partnership between local and international enterprises.
