Industry’s First SME Committee and In-Depth Business Matching Sessions Prove Successful

[March 21, 2016, Macau] Following its second in a series of quarterly MGM SME Business Matching Sessions, MGM announced the early successes of its MGM SME program, which was launched in October 2015. MGM’s SME Program consists of the MGM SME Committee and the quarterly MGM SME Business Matching Sessions, with major support from the Macau Chamber of Commerce (MCC), and also support from Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center (CPTTM) and Macao Economic Services (MES).

In less than five months since launching the program, 430 local SMEs have participated in MGM SME Business Matching Sessions, of which 358 are new relationships to the Company. 542 deals worth more than MOP 8 million in total have been signed between MGM and over 100 vendors. Amongst these successful suppliers, the majority met our target criteria for focusing on specific subgroups of local SMEs: 67 belonged to “Micro SMEs”, 16 were in the “Made in Macau” segment and 28 came from “Young Entrepreneurs”.

MGM SME Business Matching Sessions

To date, MGM has hosted two quarterly MGM SME Business Matching Sessions. The first matching session on November 30, 2015 was open to all vendors and focused on the Company’s upcoming procurement needs. The second matching session was held on March 18, 2016 and focused on facilities management goods or services that local SMEs can provide. MGM will continue to host MGM SME Business Matching Sessions quarterly throughout 2016 focusing on specific themes of products regularly sourced by the Company.

MGM SME Committee

With objective to improving and broadening MGM’s relationships with local SMEs by sharing our requirements and development plans that leads to increased sourcing and purchases, MGM has taken the lead in the industry’s SME focus by establishing the MGM SME Committee. It is formed by management members of MGM, prominent local leaders from various sectors including Creativity, Education, Finance, Food & Beverages, Logistics, Marketing, Retail, and Trade & Manufacturing. Two meetings have been held by far and the committee reaffirmed the emphasis on cultivating three key local SME segments: “Micro SMEs”, “Made in Macau” and “Young Entrepreneurs”.

MGM will continue to meet and take into consideration the valuable ideas and SME-centric programs advocated by our MGM SME Committee members. The impact of our commitments will become more substantial as our SME Business Matching Sessions and committee continue to progress quarter by quarter, which is conducive to the sustainable economic growth of Macau.

Mr. Grant Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited said: “As an integrated resort with a strong presence in Macau, we are proud to drive business with local SMEs, which will ultimately help Macau diversify and grow in a sustainable manner. The positive results from our SME initiatives indicate that we are going in the right direction, and we will continue to nurture relationships with existing local vendors and with the many more newcomers to the field. Macau’s greatness will be achieved by the people of Macau.”
