[April 25, 2025, Macau] In collaboration with the Guangdong Office of the Macao Chamber of Commerce and with support from the Economic Development Bureau of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone, MGM hosted the Cooperation Zone Visit and Business Matching Session today under its "Seizing Business Opportunities in Cooperation Zone" 2025 SME Cooperation Program. The event seeks to harness the unique "Macau+Hengqin" positioning to serve as a dynamic platform for driving regional integration, fostering deeper exchanges and collaboration between Macau and Hengqin enterprises, and further supporting Macau’s economic diversification.

Business Matching: Creating Opportunities for Hengqin and Macau Enterprises

This year’s event builds on the successful outcomes of last year's "Integrated Resort Procurement Needs Introductory Session" and "Cooperation Zone Tour and Exchange." MGM organized over 20 management team members from more than ten departments to conduct one-on-one business matching sessions with Macau-owned SMEs from the Cooperation Zone and the Greater Bay Area, aiming to explore business opportunities and promote regional cooperation.

During the event, MGM inked a procurement intent agreement with Uni-Win, a Macau-based company with whom connections were established during last year’s program. MGM will purchase high-quality halal-certified plant-based meat products from the company's "OLACARNE” brand as an option for customer and employee restaurants' "Green Monday" initiative, promoting green lifestyles while providing healthier dining choices for customers.

The agreement was signed by Simon Leong, Assistant Vice President of Purchasing at MGM and Marco Li, founder of Uni-Win.  The signing ceremony was witnessed by Xie Yingjun, Deputy Director of the Economic Development Bureau of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone; Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited; and Kevin Ho, Vice President of the Macao Chamber of Commerce and Deputy Director of the Working Committee for the Participation in the Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Visiting Hengqin Enterprises: Focusing on Environmental Protection and Technological Development

On the same day, MGM's management team conducted on-site visits to three MGM vendors, all Macau-based environmental protection and technology companies that have expanded into Hengqin: Wellwin Technology Limited (focused on low-altitude economic development and robotics applications), the Macau young entrepreneur ChaZence (specializing in transforming tea waste into environmentally friendly materials) and BoardWare Intelligence Technology (certified as a "Key Technology Enterprise" by the Macao SAR Government). Through these visits and exchanges, the team gained deeper understanding of the vendors' operations within the Cooperation Zone allowing them to grasp the competitive advantages of businesses operating in Hengqin. These insights will serve as valuable references for MGM's future initiatives in supporting key industrial projects in Hengqin and Macau.

Creating a New Chapter in Hengqin-Macau Cooperation

Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited stated: "Since the launch of the ‘Seizing Business Opportunities in Cooperation Zone’ MGM SME Cooperation Program last year, we have leveraged our integrated resort supply chain needs and expertise to create more business opportunities for Macau SMEs, including those based in the Cooperation Zone. This time, our management team made a dedicated trip to the Cooperation Zone for business matching and vendor visits, which fully demonstrates our determination and commitment to fostering collaboration between Hengqin and Macau."

Achieving Synergistic Development between Hengqin and Macau

Kevin Ho, Vice President of the Macao Chamber of Commerce and Deputy Director of the Working Committee for the Participation in the Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area remarked: " The integration of Hengqin and Macau serves as a vital platform for businesses to explore new opportunities. This business matching session not only facilitates collaboration between Hengqin and Macau enterprises but also highlights the policy advantages and business potential of the Cooperation Zone. We look forward to continuing our partnership with MGM in the future, delivering a variety of initiatives to support the synergistic development of Hengqin, Macau, and the Greater Bay Area."
