In line with the “1+4” development strategy for appropriate diversification, the 28th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (28th MIF) organised by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) continues to promote the growth of the big health and high-tech industries through “exhibitions within exhibition” for the third consecutive year.
Two of the “exhibitions within exhibition” in this year’s MIF – CHEXPO Macao 2023 and the Science and Technology Week 2023 cum Exhibition of Achievements in Science and Technology Innovation – cover an area of over 5,900 square metres in total and bring together a multitude of well-known enterprises, research institutes and colleges and universities. In combination with a train of accompanying activities, these two events aim to drive the co-operation between industries, universities and research institutes and leverage the cross-sector collaboration of “industry+MICE” enabled by the exhibitions to facilitate key industries’ upgrading and development.
