First RMB 1 Billion Investment Approved by China–Lusophone Economic and Trade Development Fund
The China–Lusophone Economic and Trade Development Fund has approved its first investment project, marking a milestone for the newly established fund with an initial scale of RMB 1 billion.
Macau Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng highlighted the establishment of the China–Lusophone (and Hispanic) Economic and Trade Service Center at the National Day reception, alongside the launch of the RMB 1 billion China–Lusophone Economic and Trade Development Fund. The fund has completed its official registration and approved its first investment, while a pipeline of high-quality projects with Sino-Lusophone collaboration potential is being prepared, advancing the strategic goal of deepening economic and trade ties between China and Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries.
To implement the “14th Five-Year Plan” directive of expanding China–Lusophone trade and cooperation platforms, the Hengqin Guangdong-Macau Deep Cooperation Zone has established the China–Lusophone (and Hispanic) Industrial Development Investment Fund (Hengqin) as a limited partnership. The fund is designed to support the development of the China–Lusophone Economic and Trade Service Center.
The fund was formally established on 21 July 2025 and completed registration on 27 August 2025. It is managed by CICC Capital Fund Management Co., Ltd. The fund's total capital is RMB 1.001 billion, jointly contributed by the Hengqin Guiding Fund (RMB 400 million, 39.96%), Shenhe Investment (RMB 600 million, 59.94%), and CICC Capital (RMB 1 million, ~0.1%).

As a key investment vehicle supporting the China–Lusophone Economic and Trade Service Center, the fund focuses on projects aligned with China's opening-up strategy and Macao's economic diversification goals. Its investment priorities include enterprises fostering Sino-Lusophone and Sino-Hispanic collaboration in technology and high-end manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine, cultural tourism and exhibitions, and modern finance.
By leveraging CICC Capital's professional investment management capabilities alongside Shenhe Investment's local resources, the fund promotes a “capital empowerment + industry implementation” model, aiming to build a sustainable Sino-Lusophone industrial ecosystem in the Hengqin cooperation zone.
The fund has already approved its first investment project and continues to prepare additional high-potential projects featuring Sino-Lusophone collaboration.
In September 2025, the China–Lusophone (and Hispanic) Economic and Trade Service Center, with support from the Meekdo platform, hosted the “New Opportunities · Explore Latin America – 2026 Meekdo Full-Category Investment Launch Conference” in Hengqin. The event brought together cross-border e-commerce sellers, traditional manufacturers, trade enterprises, and logistics and tax service providers to explore emerging opportunities in the Latin American market.
