Tailored Policy Briefings to Empower Macao Enterprises
ONE
In a bid to implement preferential policies and bolster enterprise development, Hengqin's Economic Development Bureau recently conducted three focused policy briefing sessions. These events, held at strategically chosen venues including the Zhuhai Youke Workshop, the Enterprise and Talent Service Center (ETSC), and the Macao Federation of Trade Unions Building, provided in-depth interpretations of policies tailored to Macao-based enterprises and professionals.
More than 150 representatives from Macao enterprises and talent attended the events, engaging directly with policy experts. "Face-to-face communication is highly effective—it helps us quickly grasp policy details and resolve challenges in real-time. We hope for more such initiatives," remarked one participant.
The sessions emphasized policies under the Support Measures for Macao Enterprises in the Hengqin Cooperation Zone, offering actionable insights into application processes and implementation details. Significantly, these sessions were customized based on surveys of Macao enterprises and professionals, ensuring content aligned with the most pressing concerns.
Since the zone's establishment, Macao-funded businesses have grown by 11.8% year-on-year, reaching 6,552 entities as of Q3 2024. Macao residents and companies increasingly recognize Hengqin as a hub for business opportunities, bolstered by robust policy support, seamless administrative processes, and improved living facilities.
To cultivate a globally competitive talent base, Hengqin has launched 16 targeted measures focusing on talent development, collaboration between Hengqin and Macao, and creating a conducive environment for high-end talent. These initiatives underscore the zone's ambition to serve as a cornerstone for Macao’s economic diversification.
