MGM Partners with Macao Chamber of Commerce to Organize SME Business Matching Session

Creating More Business Opportunities for Local SMEs

The MGM SME Business Matching Session co-hosted by MGM and the Macao Chamber of Commerce (MCC) was held yesterday at MGM COTAI. With the support of the Macao Economic Bureau (DSE), Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), and the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Centre (CPTTM), the event focused on cultivating three key local SME segments: “Micro SMEs”, “Made in Macau” and “Young Entrepreneurs”, to create more business opportunities for local SMEs and to facilitate their business growth.

The business matching session received an overwhelming response as it attracted over 110 SMEs. Each SME was arranged for a meeting with an MGM representative from the user department to ensure a productive business matching opportunity. Some participants were also invited to MGM’s back-of-house area in deepening their understanding of the supply chain operations of an integrated resort. The tour included Receiving Dock, Garde Manger, Butchery, Hot Kitchen, Pastry and Bakery Kitchen, and the Employee Dining Room. In addition, four leading Macau banks: Bank of China Macau Branch, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Macau), Banco Nacional Ultramarino, and China Construction Bank Macau Branch, participated in the event to provide financial services to SME vendors on-site.

As the first integrated resort operator in Macau establishing the SME committee, MGM has a strong focus on building a platform for the development of local SMEs and enhancing business relationships for future opportunities. Testament to its approach, over 90% of MGM’s procurement is with local Macau businesses. Recently, MGM welcomed members of the Macau Union Suppliers Association to MGM COTAI to discuss on how to strengthen their cooperation in developing a sustainable supply chain, as part of its engagement efforts with local SME community that will increase competitiveness of Macau.
