IPIM and DSPA promote 2017 MIECF in Portugal and Beijing

Delegates from the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) and the Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) – the host coordinators of the event – organized a series of activities to promote the 2017 Macao International Environmental Co-
operation Forum and Exhibition (MIECF) to the mainland and overseas environmental protection industries.

According to a statement issued by IPIM the two entities visited Portugal and Beijing earlier this month to organize such events in a bid to enhance the exhibition’s effectiveness.

The 2017 MIECF will be held in the region from March 30 to April 1, 2017, under the theme “Innovative Green Development for Sustainable Future.”

During the visit to Portugal, a 2017 MIECF promotional seminar was held at the Macao Economic and Trade Office in Lisbon.

The statement noted that a number of networking activities were organized to strengthen the publicity of MIECF in Portugal. Secretary for Economy and Finance Leong Vai Tac, as well as representatives from various trade, economic and environmental protection associations in Portugal attended and participated in these activities.

IPIM also organized the MIECF roadshow activities in Matosinhos and visited environmental protection enterprises and invited them to participate in the event.

The Portugal section of the project commenced this year with the immediate objectives of collaborating in order to effectively access the mainland market and to invest in environmental technology transfer.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2017, MIECF aims to promote Macau as a co-operation and networking platform between the EU, China and Portuguese Speaking Countries.
