MGM Senior Management Explores the Greater Bay Area
Gaining the Latest Insight into Shenzhen’s Positioning as an Innovative City
MGM’s senior management team visited Shenzhen to learn more about the city’s positioning as an innovative city in the Greater Bay Area plan.

Mr. Grant Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, recently led a delegation of more than 20 members from the senior management team to make a visit to Shenzhen. They met with representatives of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality, and visited Sea World Culture and Arts Center, Reform and Opening up Exhibition Hall, Tencent, and many other world-renowned technology companies, learning more about the positioning of Shenzhen in the Greater Bay Area, and how the city is becoming a global hub of innovation and creativity.

 

Designated as a City of Design by UNESCO, Shenzhen is one of the core engines for Greater Bay Area development. MGM, a keen advocate of arts and culture, visited Shenzhen’s new cultural landmark – Sea World Culture and Arts Center – to understand how public art can be redefined into unique cultural experiences. The delegation then went to the Reform and Opening up Exhibition Hall for an exhibition that showcases thousands of iconic objects related to Guangdong’s development over the past 40 years since the reform and opening-up, as well as the rise of Shenzhen.

 

In addition, the senior management team visited global innovation and technology enterprises, Tencent, Royole and Hytera, and observed the applications and technologies of the Greater Bay Area and also of the world, such as the use of face recognition in payment system, Augmented Reality, and human-machine interface technologies. They also took the opportunities to meet with representatives of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality, to discuss how MGM and Macau can grow as the Greater Bay Area develops.

 

Mr. Grant Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, said, “Shenzhen continues to evolve and develop. It is truly an all-encompassing city that welcomes all people and competitions. We need to learn from Shenzhen, welcoming more innovations to facilitate new and excellent customer experience. This visit offers a great opportunity for our team members to get to know more about Shenzhen’s and how we should position ourselves. We want to challenge and encourage them to never stop exploring and growing their knowledge, and to add value to the grain of sands of MGM, the Macau community, and the Greater Bay Area.”
