The co-founder of an emerging tech expo has touted Macao as an ideal location for technological exchanges, as it is seen as “neutral,” while Hong Kong has become caught up in tensions between Beijing and Washington.
“Developing the tech industry is not easy. It cannot be achieved solely with money or policy, but also requires sufficient market and technological innovation. Macao, as a more neutral place, is suitable to play the role of a platform,” said Jason Ho, the co-founder of BEYOND Expo, in an interview with Caixin earlier this month.
