The second edition of “MGM x MYEIC Young Entrepreneur Nurturing Program” (Program), co-organized by MGM, Parafuturo de Macau (PFM Macau) and Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre (MYEIC) introduced a new project series, namely the “Pulse-Checking for Young Entrepreneurs”. Aimed to help young entrepreneurs to seek breakthroughs in their businesses, this new project is set to provide targeting solutions through mentoring visits. Earlier, a group of mentors of the Program, comprised of management team members of both MGM and MYEIC, visited three of the participating businesses. The mentors provided their professional insights and support to the young entrepreneurs, after getting to know the challenges each of their businesses currently faces.

The group of mentors visited three businesses of MYEIC member who take part in the Program, which were 2048 (Macau) Limited, Green Cleaning Products Limited and Le Mountain Brand Creative Limited. They provided insights on brand imaging, market positioning and ways to establish business deals with large enterprises.

Launch Hit-product to Wow the Market

Being the only craft beer specialty brewery in the city, the representative of 2048 (Macau) Limited raised concerns on market positioning and strategies. After taking their case into study, mentors suggested them to launch some hit-product with simple, punch-line messages that target certain group of consumers. Mentors also advised them to apply for third-party quality assurance qualifications, which MGM is pleased to facilitate on.  

Product Quality is Key to Attract Large Enterprises

Representative of the local cleaning supply company Green Cleaning Products Limited sought advises on how to breakthrough industry traditions and establish business partnerships with large enterprises with innovative products. Mentors suggested them to focus on quality to details, in order to reach the purchasing standards of 5-star hotels. Paying extra attention to details is also a key to success, so that they can provide products that precisely target users’ needs and work habit, to increase efficiency and avoid mistakes.   

Representative of Le Mountain Brand Creative Limited, a brand marketing and design company, got into discussion on how to create a sustainable business model and shared the company’s background and previous developmental trends with the visiting mentors. Mentors who are specialized in brand marketing analyzed the company’s strengths and challenges, based on their marketing position, pricing strategies, customer services and cost-effectiveness. Through identifying their assets, the visit helped Le Mountain Brand Creative Limited to enhance their profit strategies.

Lam Ka Vai, CEO of MYEIC, said in concluding the visits, “This new series of enterprises visits are set to build an effective communication channel, so that MGM management team members may share their professional experiences and insights with our young entrepreneurs and provide pragmatic solutions to their business projects. We will continue with more follow-up visits to ensure the Project continues to be helpful and effective in nurturing local young entrepreneurs.”
