A three-day “Galaxy Macau Chill Coffee” event, part of the Macau Coffee Cultural Festival, was held in mid-January. The event, organised by Macau casino concessionaire Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd, took place at the Galaxy International Convention Center.
The event is described as the first large‑scale coffee cultural festival in Macau hosted by an integrated tourism and leisure enterprise. It brought together “60 exhibitors from Macau, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, and overseas, with more than 40 of them being local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Macau brands,” stated the casino firm in a written announcement.
Galaxy Entertainment said it “not only provided exhibitors with extensive logistical and promotional support,” but also invited world coffee experts “to participate and organise a series of extension activities such as talks, competitions, and workshops”.
The event was supported by the Macao Government Tourism Office, the Economic and Technological Development Bureau, and the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute, together with the Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre (MYEIC), as per the release.
The update cited Philip Cheng, a director at Galaxy Entertainment, as saying that the company “has remained steadfast in its commitment over the years, continuously building diversified platforms to support the growth of local SMEs and young entrepreneurial enterprises”.
He added: “The ‘Galaxy Macau Chill Coffee’ is a vivid example of Galaxy Entertainment’s efforts to support SMEs in upgrading their businesses across different dimensions.”
In addition, the event also fostered the development of young local entrepreneurs in the field of brand design, stated the casino operator. That included organising a logo and event name design contest with MYEIC, with Loksophy Design Ltd taking a MOP20,000 (US$2,490) prize.
