The University of Macau (UM)\nand the Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre today (10 December) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on strengthening communication and collaboration\nin research and academic affairs. Both parties will work together in the exchange of researchers as well as scientific research and seminars. They will also create\nacademic databases to facilitate information sharing. <\/p>
The MoU was signed by Agnes Lam, director of the Centre\nfor Macau Studies (CMS), on behalf of UM, and Lam Ka Vai, CEO of the Macao Young\nEntrepreneur Incubation Centre. According to the MoU, UM and the incubation centre will carry out collaboration in four areas, namely promoting the\nexchange of experts and researchers in\nrelated fields, conducting research on topics related to Macao residents\u2019\nparticipation in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay\nArea (GBA), co-organising\nacademic conferences, lectures, and seminars, and promoting the sharing of research data.<\/p>
The CMS began the study titled\n\u2018Macao\nResidents and the Greater Bay Area\u2019 in\n2018. It conducted telephone surveys at the end of each year in the past two\nyears to understand Macao\nresidents\u2019 attitudes towards participating in the development of the Greater\nBay Area. The research team analysed the attitudes of those surveyed towards\nliving, working, starting a business, and living in a GBA city other than Macao, as well as their attitudes towards the possible trend that more\nresidents from other GBA cities would travel to, invest, work, and settle in Macao in the future.<\/p>

The\nincubation centre has provided various forms of support to young entrepreneurs to\nhelp them establish their businesses\nin Macao, participate in the development of the GBA, align with China’s national\ndevelopment strategy, and explore opportunities in Portuguese-speaking countries.\nWith the support of the Economic Bureau, the centre has signed collaboration agreements\nwith 19 incubation centres in the GBA to facilitate youth participation in the\ndevelopment of the GBA. Through\nmutual recognition of youth entrepreneurship projects, the centre recommends\nyoung people from Macao to mainland incubation centres in order to help them\nstart their businesses in mainland China.<\/p>
