IPIM starts ‘Conference Ambassador’ program

The Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) has launched its “Conference Ambassador” program and invited six people from mainland China and abroad to be Macau’s “Conference Ambassadors”, who will jointly promote the development of the local MICE industry.

The “Conference Ambassador” program was launched by the MSAR jointly with experts from different fields in a bid to boost the local MICE industry.

The program is in line with the MSAR’s policy of giving “Priority to Conventions,” in a bid to drive the growth and development of Macau’s different business sectors.

It also aims to support the development of the professional sectors through the professional influence of “Ambassadors” in Mainland China and abroad, in addition to the co-operation of related entities within Macau.

According to IPIM, the MSAR will co-operate with the “Ambassadors” in several ways by combining efforts to attract a greater number of national and international conventions to Macau.

The six experts were invited from different sectors: medicine, construction, sport, information technology, and chemistry.

The experts include Orlando Monteiro da Silva, former president of FDI World Dental Federation, Zhu Lilan, former Minister of Science and Technology of the People´s Republic of China, He Jingtang, member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Li Ning, a former athlete of the Chinese Gymnastics Team.

Tsui Lap-Chee, a specialist in molecular genetics,
and Liu Chung Laung, a member of the Advisory Board of the Macau Science and Technology Development Fund have also been named as ambassadors.
