More than 180 government bodies, businesses, and trade associations from Portuguese-speaking countries will gather in Macau for the 29th Macau International Trade & Investment Fair (MIF) to showcase opportunities in their respective economies.
The 29th MIF, taking place from Oct. 16 to 19 at the Cotai Expo at The Venetian Macao, marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland, making it a significant milestone.
A central feature of the fair is the “Portuguese-Speaking Countries Market Zone,” which will feature over 200 booths from diverse sectors such as agriculture, technology, wine and spirits, food, coffee, finance, and logistics. This dedicated zone will provide attendees with the opportunity to explore new business prospects tied to the economic and commercial growth of Lusophone nations and foster increased cooperation.
The fair will also host over 10 business events focusing on fostering investment cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking nations. On the first day, a products and services matching session will connect buyers and sellers, while other conferences such as the “14th Industrial and Commercial Summit between Jiangsu-Macau-Portuguese Speaking Countries” and the “Fujian-Macau-Portuguese-Speaking Countries Economic and Trade Exchange Conference,” will present forward-looking perspectives and investment prospects in Lusophone nations.
To further enrich the participant experience and maximize opportunities for them, the fair will also feature professional competitions judging Portuguese wines, spirits, and coffee, with over 20 suppliers from Portuguese-speaking regions and Macau showcasing more than 40 products.
Organizers have also introduced three new initiatives through a revised schedule, newly designed exhibition zones, and new activities to boost international trade cooperation and foster shared prosperity between Chinese and Lusophone businesses. Victoria Chan
