The event drew over 100 representatives from 80 micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (“MSME”). With this event, SJM aimed to maintain a close connection with local MSMEs for synergistic growth and collaboration, contributing to a more dynamic and inclusive business ecosystem to foster Macau’s economic diversification.
- The event was honoured by the presence of the distinguished guests, including: Mr. Yau Yun Wah, Director of the DSEDT;
- Ms. Victoria Kuan, Director-General of the CPTTM;
- Dr. Paul Hung, President – Security, Surveillance & Environmental, Social and Governance of SJM;
- Mr. Andy Wu, President of Board of Director of The Federal General Commercial Association of Macau Small and Medium Enterprises;
- Mr. Wong Kin Chong, President of the Industry and Commerce Association of Macau Northern District;
- Mr. Lei Cheok Kuan, Chairman of the Industry and Commerce Federation of Macau Central and Southern District;
- Mr. Yeong King Hoi, Chairman of the Industry and Commerce Federation of Islands of Macao;
- Mr. Wu Tat Chong and the President of the Industry and Commerce Association of Macau ZAPE.
Dr. Paul Hung, President – Security, Surveillance & Environmental, Social and Governance of SJM, remarked during his speech, “SMEs are the backbone of Macau’s economy, and SJM remains firmly committed to supporting their development by upholding our ‘local first’ procurement policy. Collaborating with local suppliers not only enhances the agility and reliability of our supply chain but also allows us to work with potential and excellent enterprises.”
“We believe that building a mutually beneficial and resource-sharing platform is key to establishing sustainable, long-term partnerships. Through such partnerships, we can truly embody the spirit of ‘big enterprises supporting small businesses’ while shaping a uniquely Macau business ecosystem.”
The business matching session brought together MSME representatives from a diverse range of sectors: travel services, cultural and creative products, event planning, media production, cleaning services, information technology, logistics, medical and pharmaceutical supplies, security services, skincare, and food and beverage, many were young, entrepreneurial ventures or “Made in Macau” brands.
Direct meetings between MSME representatives and SJM’s procurement team enabled businesses to detail their products and services, understand SJM’s procurement requirements, and receive tailored professional feedback. This improved their product positioning and competitiveness, paving the way for potential collaborations. The event also featured a cybersecurity workshop hosted by the “SJM SME Institution.” A speaker from CPTTM delivered a keynote on how to balance technology application and data security awareness in the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce, empowering local enterprises to promote business resilience.
SJM is committed to supporting MSME development and strengthen through its “local first” strategy. The “SJM SME Institution” established last year, will continue to provide valuable resources—business seminars, industry lectures, and workshops—to promote the sustainable growth of MSMEs and contribute to Macau’s economic prosperity.
