The Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) has just launched a “Business Opportunities Corner” as part of its “Online Business Matching Service Platform” (http://bm.ipim.gov.mo), with the system now providing round-the-clock business-matching services for companies. The “Business Opportunities Corner” aims to contribute to the promotion of Macao’s role as a co-operation platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, and help businesses capture new opportunities arising from the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The new “Business Opportunities Corner” features three subsections, organised by topic and geographic area of coverage. The subsections are: “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Co-operation Database”; “Investment Projects in Portuguese-speaking Countries”; and “Trade and Investment Projects”. users can select at any time the subsection that best fits their respective projects and business development needs. IPIM will follow up accordingly on business-matching requests and assist with the relevant appointment booking details, liaising with the parties involved in order to help promote business co-operation and exchanges.
Since the launch of the “Online Business Matching Service Platform” in 2016, IPIM has successfully arranged more than 2,300 business-matching sessions, in events either organised or coordinated by the Institute. The platform aims to provide – on a self-service basis – business-matching services for companies at home and abroad, assisting firms in exploring new business opportunities, and in fostering business co-operation and exchanges.
Upon completing the one-time registration process, users can log in to their respective “Online Business Matching Service Platform” account to enrol in business-matching activities organised by IPIM. In addition, companies can also use the platform to: advertise their projects; look for and select business projects on which they might potentially co-operate; and match with potential business partners. The platform offers automated scheduling tools for business matching, and users can use it to check preliminary meeting schedules, and receive notifications related to business-matching meetings.
