MIF 19

The 19th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF)

Macao’s largest annual international trade and economic event, the 19th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF), will be held at the Venetian-Macao-Resort-Hotel from 23 to 26 October 2014.

MIF is the first exhibition in Macao accredited by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI). Last year, 350 trade and economic delegations from more than 50 countries and regions participated in the Fair, engaging in 2,000 business matching sessions. Serving as a regional co-operation platform maintaining close ties with the Mainland, the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region in particular, Portuguese-Speaking Countries, the European Union and the rest of the world, MIF promotes trade and investment activities, fosters the integration of funds, resources,

markets and technologies and takes steps to advance entrepreneurial co-operation in numerous areas, through the display of trade and investment opportunities, forums and conferences, business matching and buyers meetings.

The theme of this year’s MIF is “Co-operation-Key to Business Opportunities”. Taking advantage of Macao’s multi-cultural characteristics and its role as a regional business service platform, MIF will further

promote trade and economic collaboration for enterprises in Macao and the Mainland and their counterparts in Portuguese-Speaking Countries, with the aim of expanding Macao’s role as a platform for trade and economic co-operation and exchanges between China and Portuguese-Speaking Countries.
