The 19th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF) will be held in early June 2023 in Shenzhen. The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym) will arrange for Macao’s cultural and creative industries to participate in this exhibition. Through the establishment of the Macao Creative Pavilion, IC endeavours to promote Macao’s cultural and creative products and services and facilitate industry exchange and development. Applications are now open until 12 p.m. on 19 April. Local organisations or companies in the cultural and creative industries are welcome to submit applications.

As ICIF is a national integrated cultural industry fair, IC encourages Macao’s cultural and creative industries to make good use of the Macao Creative Pavilion to raise their brand profile, develop more sales channels, and expand their market in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as well as in mainland China. Cultural and creative organisations or companies in Macao can apply to join the exhibition or attend the product promotion sessions at the same venue. The organisers will select ten applicants for the exhibition and product promotion sessions, with confirmation from IC, based on the number of designs, originality, creativity and uniqueness of their products, and their enthusiasm for participating in the exhibition.

The application form and guidelines are available at www.ccentre.com.mo/?page=info&id=982. Applicants should submit the application form and related documents via email to event@ccentre.com.mo before 12 p.m. on 19 April. For enquiries, please contact Ms. Leong at 2852 0707 during office hours.
