Privately-owned
Enterprises Convention
Foreword China’s privately owned enterprises have gradually become one of the principal driving forces of China’s economic development and social progress, especially after their important role was acknowledged by the 16th CPC National Congress. With the globalisation of the world economy and China’s entry into the WTO, they have been more and more actively involved in international economic and trade co-operations as well as improving their competitiveness. They are striving to comply with standard international commercial practice. Macao, as one of China’s gateways to the outside world, can capitalise on its many advantages to provide local and abroad enterprises with various kinds of support and as acting as an intermediary. While keeping and strengthening its extensive international links, especially with the EU and Portuguese speaking countries, the opening up of the gaming sector and continuously improved investment environment has resulted in Macao drawing many enterprises to invest here and to use the offshore services, and many overseas organisations set up offices or chambers of commerce. It is expected that with the implementing of the relevant measures of “Closer Economic Partnership Agreement” (CEPA) between Mainland China and Macao SAR, there will be more investors attracted to the Territory and the co-operation and exchanges between overseas and local enterprises are bound to be increased. In order to improve Macao’s function as a economic and trade platform for Mainland China enterprises, the Convention will invite successful entrepreneurs from Mainland China to share their experiences and business strategies, while at the same time, to show those participating the abundant investment opportunities in China and the market situation there. It is hoped by the various business services and information provided, Macao can really function as a bridge linking Mainland China’s Privately-owned Enterprises to World Markets and a channel for both local and overseas enterprises to search for co-operation. Convention Content In order to improve Macao’s function as an economic and trade platform for enterprises from Mainland China and to assist them to gain a foothold in global market, the “Privately-owned Enterprises Convention”, which organised by the All-China Federation of Industry & Commerce, Macao Chamber of Commerce and Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, 23rd October 2003, at the Conference Centre, 3rd Floor of Macao Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre.
