Blending heritage with innovation
Advancing revitalization through joint community effort
In full support of SAR government's revitalization strategy

MACAO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sands China has long supported the Macao SAR government's district revitalization strategy, continuously leveraging its corporate resources and working alongside various sectors across the community to promote the sustainable development and cultural vitality of the historic neighbourhood. In 2024, the company launched the inaugural Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens, successfully introducing seven new businesses on Rua das Estalagens. Over the past two years, the programme has achieved remarkable results, bringing fresh commercial momentum, elevating the area's vibrancy, and rekindling community interest, with some participating enterprises emerging as viral hotspots.

To build on this success and further take the leading role as a large enterprise supporting local SMEs, the company launched Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 in April this year — comprising the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens and the newly-introduced Shop Rebranding Programme. The two programmes have attracted enthusiastic response from aspiring entrepreneurs and local merchants alike. An award presentation ceremony at The Londoner^® Macao Wednesday announced and recognised a total of 24 enterprises selected to participate in the revitalization programme.

With a history of over 470 years, Rua das Estalagens was once among Macao's most vibrant commercial neighbourhoods, embodying the city's rich cultural heritage and the perseverance of generations of residents and merchants. To preserve this unique legacy, Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 was launched under the theme of "integrating the old with the new, bridging the past into future."  Building on the success of the first edition in 2024, the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens continues to provide entrepreneurship subsidies to encourage a new batch of SMEs to set up their businesses on Rua das Estalagens. In addition, the novel Shop Rebranding Programme supports existing businesses in upgrading their brand image and operational capabilities through initiatives such as brand repositioning, shopfront refurbishment, new product and service development, and system enhancements.

Through this year's revitalization programme, Sands China provides financial support to selected enterprises, while helping both newly established SMEs and existing merchants lower the barriers to business start-up and transformation, enabling them to seize market opportunities. By preserving the cultural heritage and distinctive community spirit of Rua das Estalagens, the programme aims to create a vibrant environment where heritage and innovation can thrive together, continuously injecting economic vitality and fresh momentum into the district.

This year's programme garnered a highly positive response, drawing a total of 69 applications. Together with the first edition, the programme has received a total of nearly 200 applications to date. Applications for the latest edition were evaluated through a rigorous three-round assessment process conducted by a cross-sector judging panel comprising representatives from government departments, the banking sector, the business sector and community organisations. Following the evaluation process, 24 projects were selected this year, comprising 11 entrepreneurship proposals and 13 rebranding plans, spanning a diverse range of businesses such as dine-in and takeaway, retail, cultural and creative, fashion, travel photography, and pet grooming. Together with the outcomes of the first edition, Sands China's Rua das Estalagens revitalization initiative will have benefited a total of 30 businesses, contributing to the renewal and upgrading of the district's business landscape.

To support the recruitment efforts for both editions of the programme, Sands China has organised 15 free public events to date, bringing together representatives from relevant government departments, industry experts, and academics to provide practical entrepreneurship and operational training alongside professional guidance. New participants were given the opportunity to visit selected shops on Rua das Estalagens, enabling them to gain first-hand insights into the district's unique character, business environment and the condition of available shop premises to help them better prepare for the development of their business proposals. The event series has drawn widespread interest, attracting 1,300 participants in total.

Chan Chou Weng, representing the Secretary for Economy and Finance and acting director of the Economic and Technological Development Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, said: "On behalf of the Secretary for Economy and Finance, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for Sands China's longstanding commitment to supporting the Macao SAR government's direction of promoting economic diversification, as well as its unwavering commitment to investing resources and working closely with the community to foster shared growth and prosperity. Since Sands China first launched the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens' in 2024, the initiative has reaped remarkable results, fostering a group of creative, forward-thinking young entrepreneurs to carry out promising businesses. This year, Sands China has further upgraded the initiative with the launch of the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens' and the 'Shop Rebranding Programme.' On the one hand, it integrates the old with the new, revitalizing the community and creating business opportunities; on the other, they build on the past for the future, supporting merchants in their transformation and continued development. Together, these efforts exemplify the powerful synergy of the 'large enterprises leading SMEs' approach, providing concrete support for SMEs to enhance their capabilities, and injecting sustainable momentum into the local economy. I extend my warmest congratulations to all the winning enterprises. I look forward to seeing your creative ideas and business proposals translated into tangible business outcomes, bringing renewed vitality to this culturally rich street, encouraging residents and visitors alike to explore the distinctive charm of Rua das Estalagens, and contributing to the revitalization of the community economy."

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: "We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Macao SAR government for their long-term guidance and support for the revitalization works, as well as to the various sectors of society, businesses, and entrepreneurs for their active participation. District revitalization is a long-term endeavour that requires sustained vision and commitment. Since the launch of the 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens' in 2024, we are delighted to see the programme empowering creative and passionate young entrepreneurs and local SMEs to turn their aspirations into reality, while breathing new life into the district. The key to revitalizing historic districts lies in fostering a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and modern vitality. With this vision in mind, we launched the 'Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026' this year to further leverage our role in supporting local SMEs. Through the programme, we aim to encourage entrepreneurs to bring innovative concepts to historic districts, while supporting long-established local businesses in upgrading their operations and transforming their business models. We are pleased by the enthusiastic response the programme has received, attracting a diverse range of businesses. This not only reflects the public's recognition of Sands China's revitalization efforts on Rua das Estalagens, but also demonstrates the entrepreneurial spirit of a new generation eager to establish businesses in the district, alongside the determination of existing businesses to evolve and embrace new opportunities.

"To translate this enthusiasm into tangible outcomes for district development, Sands China will continue to leverage its corporate strengths, working hand in hand with stakeholders across the community to shape an even brighter future for Rua das Estalagens and contribute to Macao's diversified economic development."

Lam In Nie, vice president of the board of directors and chief of the Ladies' Committee of the Macao Chamber of Commerce, said: "Since the Macao SAR government launched its revitalization initiative in 2023, Sands China has taken the leading role as a large enterprise to support local SMEs. In 2024, the company launched the inaugural 'Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens,' ushering in a sustainable path for the area. This year, the initiative has been further elevated, bringing new entrepreneurs into the neighbourhood while supporting existing merchants in transforming their businesses. Together, these efforts foster the coordinated development of traditional and emerging business models. I would like to thank the Macao SAR government and the wider community for their invaluable support. My sincere appreciation also goes to Sands China for its enduring commitment to sustainable community development, leveraging the district's cultural heritage and commercial innovation to strengthen the community economy, support the transformation of established merchants, and foster the long-term integration of traditional and emerging businesses in the district."

Applications for the Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme 2.0 for Rua das Estalagens were assessed through a comprehensive evaluation of factors, including innovativeness, market potential and business model, as well as the capabilities and experience of the operating team. Selected applicants must commit to a self-invested initial operating capital of no less than MOP 300,000 and each receive subsidies equivalent to one to two times the amount of the self-invested capital, with a capped amount of MOP 1 million.

Meanwhile, applications for the Shop Rebranding Programme were evaluated on the basis of the proposed rebranding ideas, their contribution to the district's renewal efforts, and the soundness of the financial planning. Selected merchants need to commit to a minimum self-invested capital of MOP 50,000. Selected applicants can receive subsidies equivalent to one to three times the amount of the self-invested capital, capped at MOP 500,000 per applicant.

To further take initiative to support local SMEs, Sands China has introduced a phased funding mechanism, under which selected enterprises will receive 60 percent of their total funding as start-up capital ahead of the launch of new ventures and the implementation of shop rebranding plans. This arrangement demonstrates Sands China's confidence in the potential of the selected projects, while helping to ease the financial pressure of the initial stages of business development — enabling the selected enterprises to focus on preparation and execution, laying a solid foundation for their long-term growth.

At Wednesday's awards ceremony, selected enterprises of Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme for Rua das Estalagens 2026 were presented with trophies, recognising their innovative vision, entrepreneurial spirit and contribution to the revitalization of Rua das Estalagens.

澳門2026年9月23日 /美通社/ -- 金沙中國一直全力支持澳門特區政府片區活化的施政方針，持續不斷投放企業資源，攜手各界推動歷史街區的可持續發展及人文精神。公司於2024年率先推出「草堆街創業方案大募集」，成功促成七家企業進駐草堆街；項目推出兩年來成效顯著，不僅引進新商業動能進駐，提質街區活力，亦重新凝聚社區關注，當中更有進駐商戶成功蛻變為網絡人氣店，為整個街區帶來融舊立新的新氣象。為延續活化效益並進一步發揮「以大帶小」營商理念，公司今年4月再度推出「金沙中國草堆街片區活化項目2026」，涵蓋「草堆街創業方案大募集2.0」及全新增設的「草堆街店舖重塑計劃」兩大項目，吸引眾多有志創業人士及區內商戶踴躍參與，並於今日（23 日）假澳門倫敦人^®舉行頒獎儀式，公佈及嘉許兩計劃合共24家優選企業。

草堆街擁有逾470年歷史，曾是澳門最繁盛的商業街區之一，承載着澳門深厚的人文故事、以及一代又一代居民與商戶的奮鬥足跡。為延續這份珍貴的歷史底蘊，「金沙中國草堆街片區活化項目2026」以「融舊立新‧承先啟後」為核心，一方面延續2024年首屆基礎，推出新一輪「草堆街創業方案大募集2.0」，提供創業資助，鼓勵新一批中小企進駐草堆街；同時首度推出「草堆街店舖重塑計劃」，推動現有商戶優化店舖形象及提升營運能力，支援內容涵蓋品牌形象重塑、門面粉飾、新產品或服務開發、系統升級等。

透過是次計劃，金沙中國為優選企業提供資金支援，同步協助新進駐的中小企及現有商戶降低創業及轉型門檻，把握市場發展機遇。項目旨在延續草堆街歷史底蘊與人情味的同時，使傳統及創新相促相長，為草堆街持續注入經濟活力及創新元素。

是次活化項目推出反應非常熱烈且正面，共收到69份申請；連同首屆計劃，兩屆合共吸引近200份申請。是次項目經由政府部門、銀行界、商界及社區機構代表組成的跨界別專業評審委員會進行三輪嚴謹評核，今屆最終甄選24個優選項目，包括11份創業方案及13份重塑計劃方案，涵蓋堂食、外賣、零售、文創、時裝、旅拍體驗、寵物美容等多元業態。連同首屆成果，金沙中國草堆街活化項目將先後帶動累計30家商戶的經濟活力，共同促進街區業態煥新升級。

匈牙利德布勒森2026年9月23日 /美通社/ -- 寧德時代於2026年9月22日在其位於德布勒森的新建電芯工廠啟動試生產，該公司已滿足開始試運轉所需的全部先決條件。試生產的目的是在批量生產開始前，完成生產設備與製造流程的搭建、優化及驗證工作。寧德時代德布勒森工廠將持續與當地政府及主管部門緊密協作，在環境議題以及員工健康與安全方面維持高標準。

寧德時代於2022年8月宣佈，在德布勒森建設其在歐洲的第二座電池工廠，目標是融入歐洲汽車與電動出行供應鏈，更好地服務歐洲領先的汽車製造商。首座電芯廠房於2023年夏季動工，到2026年春季，廠房內已完成最先進技術設備的配置。在2026年8月取得使用許可後，該公司已獲取全部相關許可，並滿足歐盟IPPC（綜合污染預防與控制）許可要求的所有先決條件，於9月22日起在電芯製造設施的前兩條生產線上啟動試運轉。

在核發使用許可證前，匈牙利豪伊杜-比豪爾州政府辦公室對寧德時代的廠區開展了定期現場檢查，以跟進此前引發當地居民嚴重擔憂的相關問題。主管部門代表確認，寧德時代已完成此前在許可審批流程中排查出的全部整改項目。

作為戰略性製造樞紐，寧德時代德布勒森工廠將為近年已在匈牙利建成大規模電動汽車產能的歐洲主流知名車企供貨。作為全球技術領軍企業，寧德時代在德布勒森落地了最先進的柔性生產線，以持續滿足核心客戶的各類需求。該工廠自2024年秋季起就已在德布勒森生產電池模組，截至目前累計產量已達537,000套。全部設施投產後，這座匈牙利工廠將成為寧德時代規模最大的海外製造基地，規劃產能達100吉瓦時。

在取得試運營所需的全部許可、達到所有先決條件的同時，寧德時代德布勒森工廠始終堅持與當地政府及主管部門緊密協作，將員工的健康與安全放在首位。此外，試生產期間也將對員工健康、安全及環境相關指標進行全面監測，並主動向主管部門提交監測結果。寧德時代的這筆投資不僅對德布勒森及周邊區域意義重大，也將對匈牙利經濟和歐洲電動出行供應鏈產生重要影響。寧德時代始終秉持透明開放原則，歡迎主管部門隨時到訪廠區檢查。

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) CEO Elon Musk said in an interview with CCTV Finance that he expects there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots within 10 years, possibly reaching 10 billion in the next 15 years and potentially 100 billion in the next 20 years.

Musk said that everyone may own dedicated robots to help undertake various tasks in future. One person could control hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of physical robots and digital intelligent agents.

Earlier this month, he expressed that AI will utterly reshape the global economic landscape and production models, and is expected to expand the size of the global economy by 20-30%, equivalent to an additional USD20-30 trillion in economic output annually.

Advancing Macao as international exchange platform for film talent 
Contributing to Macao's development as "City of Performing Arts" and supporting economic diversification

MACAO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Organised by the Asian Film Awards Academy and sponsored by Sands China, the International Film Camp (IFC) 2026 held its awards and closing ceremony at The Londoner^® Macao Tuesday. Following five days of intensive training and guidance from professional mentors, a panel of experts selected eight outstanding short film projects from among the submissions of the 16 participants, with each selected producer receiving production funding of HKD 300,000. Sands China has sponsored the programme for three consecutive years, underscoring its commitment to supporting the Macao SAR government's policy of economic diversification. By bringing this exchange platform to Macao, the company aims to strengthen connections between veteran international filmmakers and emerging Asian film talent, advance the professional and international development of the local film industry, enhance Macao's global cultural presence, contribute to the city's development as a "City of Performing Arts," while further supporting its diversified growth.

Since its inception in 2024, the film camp has been held annually in Macao. Backed by its professional line-up of mentors, the initiative has emerged as one of Asia's most influential film training platforms within just three years, drawing nearly 1,400 applications to date. During the film camp, participants receive one-on-one professional mentoring, enabling them to further refine their short film concepts and pitching proposals. A panel of experts will ultimately select eight outstanding short film projects for this programme. Besides the HKD 300,000 in production funding, Shaw Studios, the programme's official post-production partner, will provide professional post-production services for the selected projects, while the Asian Film Awards Academy will oversee the production process of the films and support the submission of some of the more outstanding works to major international film festivals. Over the years, the camp has nurtured numerous talented producers, many of whom have gone on to make their mark on the international film scene.

Now in its third edition, this year's film camp once again drew strong interest from aspiring filmmakers, with over 450 applications received. Following a selection process conducted by a panel of experts, 16 up-and-coming filmmakers from the Chinese mainland, Macao, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, and Kyrgyzstan were chosen to participate in the camp. This year, the film camp once again returned to The Venetian^® Macao, bringing together a strong line-up of international film professionals as mentors and speakers. They include: Roger Garcia, renowned film festival executive and director of the IFC; Fala Chen, actress, writer and director; Gordon Lam, actor, writer, and producer; Sabrina Baracetti, founding member and president of the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy; and Jukka-Pekka Laakso, director of the Tampere Film Festival in Finland.

Themed on "When Strangers Meet," the camp offered a series of masterclasses and seminars led by distinguished mentors, covering directing, screenwriting, funding, distribution, post-production, pitching and participation in film festivals, equipping emerging filmmakers with knowledge in film production, industry operations, and marketing practices. This year's programme introduced a new panel discussion on artificial intelligence, examining how technology is shaping the future of the film industry.

Grant Chum, chief executive officer and executive director of Sands China Ltd., said: "This year marks the third consecutive year Sands China has supported the International Film Camp. In this year's edition, the camp once again brought together emerging filmmakers from across Asia and film professionals from around the world to Macao to exchange creative insights and deepen collaboration, injecting fresh impetus into the growth of Macao's film industry. By enabling filmmakers to experience Macao from their own creative perspective, we hope to inspire industry practitioners to see the city with fresh eyes and rediscover the depth and diversity of its cultural heritage. Through the lens of cinema, they can showcase Macao's unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures to audiences worldwide, further establishing the city as a fertile ground for creative inspiration, a destination of choice for travellers, and a compelling hub for film production and storytelling.

"We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR government, and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR government for their guidance, to the Asian Film Awards Academy for bringing this programme to life, and to the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency and the Film Development Fund for their support of the programme. Their collective efforts have made this year's film camp a success. Sands China will remain committed to advancing the development of the cultural and creative industries, contributing to Macao's economic diversification, and harnessing the power of visual storytelling to bring the city's stories to the world stage."

Dr. Wilfred Wong, chairman of the Asian Film Awards Academy, said: "Our theme this year is 'When Strangers Meet.' In many ways, this is what filmmaking is about – bringing together people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of seeing the world. Beyond practical support, we want to give emerging filmmakers the opportunity to develop their ideas, learn from one another, and build connections across Asia. The International Film Camp would not be possible without the support of many organisations and individuals. On behalf of the Asian Film Awards Academy, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR government and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong SAR for their guidance, and to the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency and the Film Development Fund for their continued support. Our sincere thanks also go to Sands China for its generous sponsorship, and to our mentors, judges, speakers and team. The camp may be ending tonight, but the creative journey for these filmmakers is only beginning. I hope they leave Macao not only with stronger projects, but also with new friends and future collaborators."

On Sept. 18, the first day of the film camp, a special screening session of selected short films from previous editions was held at the Adelson Advanced Education Centre at The Venetian Macao. The event brought together this year's participants and mentors, winners from previous camps, and participants from the New Art Studies in Filming – Micro Movie Support Program. During the event, four emerging filmmakers whose projects were selected in previous editions of the camp shared their creative insights with participants, followed by screenings of their works. The screened works included "After Her," by Macao director Jane Zhang; "I Don't Wanna Grow Up," by Hong Kong director Kong Ho Yan; "Ride Your Horse," by Chinese mainland director Song Dongxu; and "One Home To Another," by Chinese mainland director Lan Tian.

During the IFC award ceremony on Sept. 22, actress, writer and director Fala Chen, and actor, writer, and producer Gordon Lam were invited to deliver a closing masterclass for the IFC participants. Moderated by Hong Kong director and writer Sunny Chan, the session drew on the speakers' wealth of experience in acting and film production, as they shared stories from their creative journeys with guests and film camp participants. They also reflected on how these experiences have shaped their perspectives on performance, filmmaking and storytelling, inspiring participants to explore their own creative paths.

Short films funded by the film camp in previous editions have increasingly gained attention in the international film scene, underscoring the camp's role as an important platform for emerging Asian filmmakers to reach the global stage. Among them, "A South Facing Window," by Mongolian director Lkhagvadulam Purev-Ochir, was selected for the 78th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, earning a Pardo Verde Special Mention and the Junior Jury Award. Following these accolades, the film was also selected for the 50th Toronto International Film Festival. Other notable projects include "Ride Your Horse," by Chinese mainland director Song Dongxu, selected for the International Competition at the 38th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France and the Competition of the 19th FIRST International Film Festival in Xining; and "Once Upon A Time There Was A Mountain," by Hong Kong filmmaker To Chun Him, selected for the Drama International Short Film Festival in Greece and later for the Asian American International Film Festival in New York. A number of projects developed through the camp also had their world premieres at the Udine Far East Film Festival in Italy, a testament to the strength and potential of young Asian filmmakers.

In addition, over 20 aspiring local filmmakers from the New Art Studies in Filming – Micro Movie Support Program, an initiative sponsored by Sands China, were invited to sit in on this year's film camp. This arrangement provided participants with the opportunity to gain exposure to industry insights and global trends, helping nurture diverse talent for Macao's film industry.

Guests attending Tuesday's awards and closing ceremony included Dr. Wilfred Wong; Gary Mak, assistant commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries and secretary-general of the Hong Kong Film Development Council; Chong Siu Pang, acting head of the Department for Promoting Cultural and Creative Industries of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government; Dave Sun, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Sands China Ltd. and managing director of Venetian Macau Limited; Roger Garcia, mentor and director of the IFC 2026; Anthony Chen, Chen Daming, and Heiward Mak, IFC mentors; Josie Lin, executive director of the Asian Film Awards Academy; Teng Lee Yein, production mentor of the IFC 2026; Leong Heng Teng, founding president of the Creative Industries Promotion Association of St. Lazarus Church District; a group of directors from Hong Kong and Macao; and over 20 filmmakers from the New Art Studies in Filming – Micro Movie Support Program.

International Film Camp 2026 was organised by the Asian Film Awards Academy with the patronage of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR government and the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR government, sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, the Film Development Fund, and Sands China Ltd., with the support of Shaw Studios, Miora Tencent Design, and NetShort.

The eight short film projects selected for production funding under this year's film camp are as follows:
