Macao is to hold three exhibitions late October to help exhibitors and participants expand their online businesses and explore opportunities, Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute said here on Tuesday.

The 25th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (25th MIF), Macao Franchise Expo 2020 (2020MFE), and 2020 Portuguese-Speaking Countries Products and Services Exhibition (Macao) (2020PLPEX) will be held concurrently at the Venetian Macao from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24, organizers said.

The three exhibitions aim to provide professional networking and matching services to participants. Merchants can register on the online business matching service platform to arrange meetings in advance. For the first time, the online matching service will be provided for merchants who are not able to attend the exhibitions in person.

The MIF, MFE and PLPEX taking place at the same time are expected to facilitate the cross-border movement of goods despite COVID-19 pandemic, organizers said.
