The press conference for the 2nd C-PLPEX, the 30th MIF, and the 2025MFE is held on 20 October.
As a UFI-accredited professional exhibition, the opening ceremony on the first day of the three events featured the signing of major strategic agreements by several leading enterprises to inject vitality into the accelerated development in sectors such as big health and technology.
Over the four-day period of the three events, more than 80 exchange and co-operation activities of great significance will be held, including nine themed matching sessions, seven multi-venue events in Macao and Hengqin, promotion seminars, co-operation signings, guided community tours, market visits, and livestream shopping sessions. The diverse array of activities aims to elevate business collaboration to new levels and create more opportunities for brands to establish their “first stores” in Macao. As of 20 October, over 330 business matching sessions have been pre-arranged, reinforcing the exhibitions’ role in attracting investment.
Guided by their distinct themes – “Established in a New Development Landscape, Pioneering New Avenues for Partnership”, “Macao: Gateway to Global Business”, and “Brands Unbounded, Opportunities United”, this year’s three events span three halls with nine thematic zones in an area of nearly 30,000 square metres.
There will be a suite of featured exhibition zones and pavilions on site, including the Agricultural Industry Chain Zone, New Energy Zone, and Blue Economy Zone at the 2nd C-PLPEX; the Robotics Industry Zone and Macao Big Health Brand Global Promotion Pavilion at the 30th MIF; and the first-ever “Macao Bread Integration Festival” at the “Macao International Coffee Festival Zone” of the 2025MFE.
This year’s C-PLPEX features a record high of 320 exhibitors from Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs), representing a 23% increase compared to the inaugural edition. Many of these businesses are following up on their earlier engagement efforts, including local visits and roadshows at PSCs organised by the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM). Meanwhile, more than 1,100 enterprises from nearly 30 countries and regions will showcase cutting-edge products and projects, reinforcing the event’s growing international profile.
Guangzhou, the partner city of the 30th MIF, will be featured in the “Guangzhou Pavilion”, bringing along high-quality enterprises in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, advanced manufacturing, intangible cultural heritage, and Lingnan-style cuisine. Simultaneously, the “Hengqin Pavilion” in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin will gather over 40 leading companies, spanning the four emerging industries, including scientific and technological research, high-end manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine, cultural tourism and commerce & trade, and modern finance.
The three events strive to develop a joint launchpad for new products, bringing together leading supply chain players and well-known brands from the Chinese mainland, PSCs, Southeast Asia, and Macao. More than 40 new products aligned with Macao’s four emerging industries will be unveiled at the “Debut@Macao – Project Launch”.
During the exhibitions, “Debut@Macao – Business Matching Session” and the “Promotional Session for the Establishment of the First Store and Project Launch of China and Portuguese-Speaking Countries in Macao”, coupled with the MFE2025’s “Brands Zone” that brings together renowned brands at home and abroad and a dedicated consultation service on the “Scheme for Supporting the Development of Macao First-Store Economy” on the spot. All will join hands to grasp debut opportunities.
In celebration of the 30th MIF and to attract inflows through the three events, over 30,000 premium gifts worth more than MOP 850,000 will be given away on-site.
The three events will be open to trade visitors on the first day (22 October) and to the public with free admission from the second to the fourth day (23 to 25 October). There will be four shuttle buses travelling between different destinations and the venue. All are welcome to attend the events.
