The three-day “Science and Technology Week 2021 cum Exhibition of Achievements in Science and Technology Innovation” (hereinafter referred to as the Science and Technology week) which coincides with the MIF concluded successfully today (December 12, 2021), bringing together different links in the scientific and technological innovation chain, promoting Macao's scientific and technological innovation and achievement transformation, and facilitating the effectiveness of the industry-university-research collaboration platform.
The event, organized together with the MIF, having had 200 booths set up to bring about the transformation of scientific research achievements
The “Science and Technology Week”, which has been held for 14 times since 2005, is an annual and large-scale event to promote science and technology in Macao. The event coincided with the Macao International Trade & Investment Fair (MIF) for the first time to create a synergistic effect.
The “Science and Technology Week” has an exhibition area of 3500 square meters, with nearly 200 booths having been set up, which attracts more than 140 entities to participate. The event is divided into four exhibition zones, respectively the Technology and Innovation Enterprises Zone; the Scientific Research Results Transformation Zone; the Interactive Technology Exhibition Zone; and the Science and Technology Promotion Zone, and each of them is composed of different participating entities with unique characteristics.
The participating entities are mainly from Macao and are at different stages of the scientific and technological innovation chain, such as teams of scientific research projects with prospects for transformation from higher education institutions; excellent teams in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition; potential new science and technology enterprises; and mature science and technology enterprises.
Over a hundred matchmaking sessions carried out to encourage scientific research projects of Macao to match with technology enterprises and capital in the Greater Bay Area
Jointly organized with the China Science and Technology Exchange Center (CSTEC) and the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province (GDSTC), the Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) ran the “Industry-University-Research Collaboration Roadshow and Matchmaking Meeting Between Mainland China and Macao” for the first time, in which over 50 enterprises and investors from cities of the Greater Bay Area and other cities and provinces were arranged for a visit Macao to see roadshows of 29 scientific research achievements of Macao with prospects for transformation, and to take part in more than a hundred matchmaking sessions, enabling in-depth exchanges of talents, technologies, resources and scientific research achievements between the two places, driving public capital to high-quality scientific research projects in Macao, and thereby realizing technology transfer and transformation of scientific research achievements.
Equal emphasis on scientific research and industry, exhibiting 127 completed scientific research projects
A variety of supporting activities were organized during the "Science and Technology Week”, of which the “Macao Science, Technology and Innovation Forum 2021” was divided into the two parts, respectively themed as “How Enterprises Can Accommodate the Needs of Strategic Development of the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin” and “Exploring the Path to Scientific and Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship”. Through the discussion, sharing and exchanges between well-known scholars and enterprise representatives from Macao and the Mainland, participants’ understanding of the major opportunities for enterprises presented by the development of the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin has been deepened, and a valuable lesson has also been provided for young people interested in embarking on the path of “entrepreneurship and innovation”.
“The Exhibition for Scientific Research Project Completion and Academic Report Conference 2020” is an annual event of the FDCT to show the results of completed scientific research projects and report the funding details of the FDCT to the public, providing opportunities of exchange for scientific researchers and deepening the participants’ understanding on the cutting-edge scientific research strength of Macao.
