Macao is gearing up to mark a major milestone this December 20 – the 25th anniversary of its return to China! 🎊 While fireworks and cultural festivals will light up the sky, there's another star shining bright: the region's booming science and tech scene. 💡
A Legacy of Integration
Since 1999, Macao has transformed from a gaming hub to a dynamic innovation player. CGTN's Hou Na reports the region now leads in AI research, smart city development, and space exploration projects – with strong collaboration from the Chinese mainland. 🚀
Innovation Ecosystem
\"Our startups are designing apps used in Shanghai's subways and Guangzhou's hospitals,\" shared a local tech entrepreneur. Over 70% of Macao's R&D projects now involve cross-border partnerships, particularly in the Greater Bay Area. 🌉
What's Next?
As night markets buzz with anniversary excitement, tech parks are preparing new initiatives in green energy and quantum computing. With dual strengths in heritage and futurism, this anniversary isn't just about looking back – it's charging full speed ahead. 🔋
