To continuously support the Macao SAR government's policy of promoting community revitalization and economic diversification, Sands China proudly launches a Community Revitalization Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens in 2026 - an advanced version that continues the initial programme momentum of the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens launched in 2024 that supported 7 local SMEs to start businesses on the street. This programme remains as part of the Sands Resorts Incubation Center of the company's F.I.T. local SME support programme.

Building upon the initial results of the first Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme, this edition of the programme will apply the same format to recruit more local entrepreneurs to submit business plans for starting enterprises on the street. In addition, a brand-new Shop Rebranding Programme is being introduced to empower existing shops to elevate their brand appeal and operating vitality - further deepening the effectiveness of the revitalization. The application was closed on June 30, 2026.
