On 29^th November, 2023, Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau held an entrepreneurial mindset seminar titled ” A Macao Youth’s Entrepreneurial Journey in Beijing”.  This seminar was hosted by Mr. Otto Ieong, the CEO of 369 Co-op Town Limited., and Mr. Owen Chen, founder and CEO Macau Forone Culture Technology Co. Ltd., was invited to share with the students his three-year entrepreneurial journey in Beijing. Chen successfully founded a cultural communication company in Beijing. He once led a team to cooperate with Douyin to produce animated promotional videos for Tokyo Olympics and Beijing Olympic Winter Games, and was broadcast by television stations such as Beijing Satellite Television and interviewed by media such as Macau Asia Satellite Television.

​In the seminar, Chen emphasized that starting a business is not the same as buying a lottery ticket. You must first conduct market survey and figure out whether the products or services you provide can satisfy the needs of the society before taking actions to start a business. Once you start a business, you have to go all out and persevere when encountering difficulties. Participants listened attentively and asked questions from time to time, some participants asked how to find like-minded entrepreneurial partners and how to make choices among them. Chen responded that university is a good platform to meet friends with different interests and expertise. He encouraged everyone to make good use of this platform to expand their network and participate in various career development-related activities. This will give them more opportunities to meet potential entrepreneurial partners who share similar interests.

Chen’s experience sharing not only inspired the participants, but also demonstrated the college’s vision of cultivating students’ innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. MCM College will hold more similar events in the future to provide students with more practical resources and opportunities to help them realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
