In his speech, Leong Vai Tac, member of the Council of Advisors of BFA and chairman of BFA Macao Committee for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development, said that the report demonstrates the importance of building an international technology and innovation platform in Macao, and puts forward policy proposals for Macao to carry out cooperation in technology and innovation.

Yonghua Song, rector of UM, said that Macao should give full play to the advantages of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy and its international connectivity, and actively participate in the development of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, under the Belt and Road Initiative and BFA’s initiative on ‘Constructing a New Framework for Global Science and Technology Governance’, Macao should promote cooperation with the founding countries of BFA to build an international platform for technology and innovation.

Zhao Xinli, president of Silk Road Innovation (SIRINNOVATION) and academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, said that the report has a clear focus and detailed content, and proposes targeted and feasible strategies for building an international technology and innovation platform in Macao.
