Integrated resort company SJM Resorts recently launched a new initiative, “SJM SME Institution”, to empower Macau’s small and medium businesses (SMEs), in line with the local government’s economic diversification strategy.
The institution offers free workshops and seminars to Macau SMEs, aiming to enhance the quality of local products and services – this includes those who are currently not in a business relationship with SJM.
Furthermore, the institution provides a variety of themed lectures each month, covering topics like corporate sustainability, cyber security and food safety.
“MSMEs [micro, small and medium enterprises] are crucial to Macau’s business landscape. Like SJM, they are homegrown in Macau and contribute significantly to the region’s strengths,” SJM Managing Director Daisy Ho (pictured, third from left) said during the launch ceremony.
She added, “The local MSMEs are an integral part of Macau’s authentic culture, key to promoting and preserving local culture features, essential for nurturing the ‘Made in Macau’ brand and imbuing a sense of pride and identity in the community.”
Meanwhile, SJM also announced during the launch event its collaboration with the Macao Polytechnic University (MPU) to host the “SJM SME Institution Logo Design Competition”, fostering local creative talent as they invite MPU students and staff members to participate in the competition, which is supported by the Macao Chamber of Commerce.
