(Macao News) The Macao Startup Club visited the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) today to discuss strengthening collaboration between local scientific research and entrepreneurship. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on promoting Macao's innovation and technology ecosystem, nurturing young entrepreneurial talent, and facilitating resource matching.

Since its establishment in 2018, the Macao Startup Club has been committed to building a local entrepreneurial community. To date, it has organised more than 80 events, attracting over 8,000 participants. These activities include entrepreneurship competitions, industry-sharing sessions, skills training, and entrepreneur gatherings, aiming to provide a platform for local young entrepreneurs to exchange ideas and gain practical experience.
