A total of 30 Letters of Intent for cooperation were signed at the event. The objective of this event was to deepen cooperation in the field of industry-university-research between Mainland China and Macao, establish a platform for the exchange of talents, resources, and scientific and technological achievements, and promote the transfer and transformation of S&T achievements from Macao to mainland China.
