Sands China celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Local Small, Medium, and Micro Suppliers Support Programme yesterday at The Londoner Macao, marking a decade of support for local businesses.
The event also featured the 2025 Sands Supplier Excellence Awards, recognizing outstanding suppliers, and included a networking session to encourage future collaboration between SMEs and company representatives.
Over 10 years, the programme has generated MOP119.4 billion in procurement, with 83% sourced locally, involving 4,700 SMEs.
A 10th-anniversary booklet was also unveiled at the event, showcasing success stories of local firms.
Sands China CEO Grant Chum said, “SMEs are a vital pillar of Macau’s economy. […] For more than 20 years, Sands China has remained committed to supporting the growth of local SMEs by […] prioritizing local procurement and sharing expertise to help them develop independently.”
Macao Chamber of Commerce president Ma Chi Ngai added that the partnership with Sands has created a “cooperative ecosystem of complementary strengths,” supporting SMEs in digital transformation, brand upgrading, and international expansion.
“Through a series of innovative support measures, including large-scale exhibition platforms, professional training, and technical guidance, we have built a comprehensive support system to help SMEs enhance their capabilities,” Ma said.
The Supplier Excellence Awards honored seven local companies in categories including innovation, quality management, and service excellence. 40 long-term partners received appreciation certificates, recognizing decades of collaboration with Sands China. LV
