The International Gemstone and Diamond Trade Summit scheduled for December 10 in Macau is the first industry-wide global gemstone and diamond conference jointly organised by the Shanghai Diamond Exchange (SDE) and the Macau China Diamond and Gem Exchange (MDGE) and co-organised by Informa Markets Jewellery.
The summit aims to highlight Macau’s investor-friendly policies and world-class infrastructure. Macau and the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone are viewed as a gateway for gemstone and diamond companies to the China market.
Powered by Informa Markets Jewellery, the physical-virtual conference is centred on the theme - “Gemstone and Diamond Trade Development, and the Advanced Trend of the Regional Industrial Chain Centre in the Post-Pandemic Era.” It will bring together influential government and industry leaders who will share their insights on Macau’s role as a global gem trading and processing hub.
There will be four ‘online venues’ namely Shanghai, Macau, Bangkok and Hong Kong where industry representatives can have virtual discussions with MDGE.
