Welcome to the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute’s website!

Macao is a free port with simple and low taxation regime, and it is a hub where eastern and western cultures meet. The city boasts various business advantages such as its close ties and interaction with overseas Chinese entrepreneurs and Portuguese-speaking countries, favourable investment environment and well-equipped convention and exhibition industry.

Currently, Macao is working towards becoming a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure as well as an Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries. By fully utilising its unique strengths, pro-actively integrating itself into the country’s momentum and contributing to the development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the “Belt and Road” Initiative, Macao is committed to creating more opportunities for local and overseas investors.

In order to optimise the city’s industrial structure, the Macao SAR Government adopts the “1+4” adequate diversification development strategy: “1” refers to the goal of being a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure by nurturing the diversified development of tourism and leisure and the development of an excellent, dedicated and strong integrated tourism and leisure industry; “4” refers to the four key industries to be constantly developed, namely, the Big Health industry, modern financial services, high technology, conferences and exhibitions combined with commerce and trade, and culture and sports.

As the department designated by the Macao SAR Government to promote external trade, attract investment, nurture the development of MICE industry and motivate economic co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) will focus its effort on the development of the “One Centre, One Platform, One Base”, strengthen the economic collaboration between the Mainland China and Portuguese-speaking countries, and constantly put impetus to the development of the Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries and the “Three Centres”, in order to usher in more possibilities for the industries to develop.

With the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable development by fostering the adequate diversification of Macao’s economy, IPIM will continue implementing the development strategy on convention and exhibition industry promoted by the Macao SAR Government to expedite the development of local MICE sector by nurturing the growth of local branded events, providing the “One-stop Service” for MICE Bidding and Support in Macao, carrying out various support programmes, assisting the industry to grasp the development opportunities, importing a greater number of quality MICE activities to Macao and enhancing the quality of Macao’s MICE sector.

Simultaneously, IPIM will continue to provide Investor’s One Stop Service, trade and economic promotion services, investment residency applications, trade and economic information consultation services, in order to build an even better business and investment environment for enterprises and investors, as well as local SMEs.
