He took on the commitment to lead his team to follow the Macao SAR government\u2019s policies including the \u201cDevelopment Plan for Appropriate Economic Diversification of the Macao Special Administrative Region (2024-2028)\u201d, and do his best in all tasks to give full play to Macao\u2019s platform function. By integrating major development opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin, he vowed to contribute to the appropriately diversified development of the \u201c1+4\u201d industries for Macao\u2019s economy, and manifest Macao&#8217;s business advantages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">According to IPIM President Vincent U, IPIM has been making every effort to implement various tasks. At the same time, IPIM will continue to review its frontline services and optimise the internal management. In addition to the introduction of the closed customs operation in Hengqin and a series of incentive measures, IPIM will adopt new measures to extend the Macao-Hengqin industrial synergy to different aspects, such as investment promotion, conventions and exhibitions, and the China-PSCs platform, so as to help Macao integrate into the country\u2019s overall development, and to seize new opportunities for regional co-operation and industrial development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Leong Wa Fong joined IPIM in 2001. He served as a senior technician in IPIM from 2003 to 2017 and the Manager of Research and Information Division since June 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Leong Wa Fong holds a doctorate
