The Macau government is currently preparing to recommend a second group of projects to be implemented at the Guangdong-Macau Industrial Cooperation Park located on Hengqin Island, Macauhub reported citing a Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) statement.
According to the statement, the suggestion came from the Board of Management of the Hengqin New Area that Macau should present new investment projects for the Industrial Park to add to those currently being developed.
Macau has already launched the first group of projects for the Park this year, with an expected completion date of 2019.
The first 12 projects – which are related to traditional Chinese medicine, cultural and creative industries, leisure and tourism, education , entertainment, MICE, among others – were chosen to be part of Hengqin’s first developmental phase and were selected from a group of 33 projects presented back in 2013.
The Hengqin Island New Area covers a total area of 96 square kilometers and is intended to be a complement to Macau’s entertainment, as well as a place for industrial diversification.
The new campus of the University of Macau was the first big development to be built and to operate on the Island. RM
