Sands Resorts Incubation Center
Smart tourism is a pivotal direction and trend in today’s tourism industry. In keeping with the Macao SAR Government’s initiative to spearhead technology-driven smart tourism and to foster the growth of high and new technology, Sands China specially launched the Sands Resorts Incubation Center in 2023. It offers participating companies access to valuable knowledge and resources in an integrated resort setting where digital solutions can be applied. The programme seeks to help entrepreneurs transform their conceptual ideas into commercially viable offerings that are poised for success in the marketplace.
The Sands Resorts Incubation Center has pioneered industry-first initiatives such as the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens, Macao Technological Innovation Exploration in Lisbon, Macao-Hengqin Industry-Academia-Research Reverse Business Matching, Community Revitalization Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens in 2026, etc. By establishing a successful benchmark, these programmes connect local tech entrepreneurs with global innovation ecosystems, bridge academic research with commercial application, and accelerate smart tourism solutions in support of Macao’s economic diversification.
