Since 2023, the DSEDT has been organizing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Study Tour for Portuguese-Speaking CountryTechnology and Innovation Enterprises, which, through site visits, has enabled PSC technology enterprises to learn first-hand about the current development and opportunities of Macao, Hengqin and the GBA and has created opportunities of face-to-face dialogue with Mainland and international investors to facilitate more collaboration, thereby fulfilling the role of Macao as a platform between China and PSCs.

Participants of the 2024 edition of the Study Tour included 8 incubators, tertiary institutions and other institutions from Brazil and Portugal, as well as 10 Brazilian and Portuguese technology and innovation (T&I) enterprises. Apart from site visits to technology enterprises, venture capital funds, tertiary institutions and government authorities in the GBA, the participating Brazilian and Portuguese technology enterprises were also arranged to stage roadshows and meet with investors at the BEYOND Expo and in Hengqin with a view to further deepening technology exchange and cooperation between China and PSCs and galvanizing outstanding Brazilian and Portuguese T&I enterprises to incorporate in Macao and the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.

Among the participants of this edition, 3 T&I enterprises, which are engaged in AI visual technology application, nanomedicine technology and environmental biotechnology respectively, incorporated in Macao. In addition, the signing of 8 cooperation agreements at the two sessions of Pitch Roadshow for Sci-Tech Enterprises from Brazil and Portugal further facilitated the cooperation between the technology sector of China and PSCs .
