Roadmap
Macau Spin Incubator is a limited liability partnership between the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) and BN Lawyers. We aim to exploit the geographical and political position of Macau as a platform between the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the Portuguese Speaking Countries (PSCs). We support innovation and entrepreneurship by providing market and legal consultation, networking opportunities, and space for companies looking to establish in Macau facing the markets in the GBA or the PSC). Through our partnerships with incubators in the PCSs and GBA, we also provide support for our clients from the PSCs to enter the GBA market and for clients from the GBA to enter the PSCs market.
The incubator will be located on the 12th floor of the Residential Hall of the USJ. It consists of 13 individual offices between 10.5M2 and 14.4M2, which can be rented on an individual company based or shared based. There is also a co-working space of 40.3M2 with 10 desks for hot-desking. The business modal for Macau Spin is a membership-based service provider. Targeting the following startups:
- Companies from the PSCs entering Macau
- Companies from the GBA entering Macau
- Startups of USJ students and alumni
The establishment of the incubator will be divided into two phases:
Phase I Virtual Incubator
During the renovation of the physical space of the incubator, only limited services will be provided with ad hoc small spaces for work if needed. This also serves as a trial phase of the incubator as we develop networks and partnerships.
- Legal support in the establishment of companies
- Mentoring in the preparation and launching of companies
- Small co-working space at the USJ campus
- Networking events with business associations, entrepreneurs in Macau and the GBA, and other incubators in the area
Phase II Physical Incubator Launched
When the incubator at the 12th floor of the Residential Hall at the USJ campus is completed, the incubator will be in full operation, providing rental of office spaces and meeting rooms. There will also be scheduled talks and consultation times with mentors stationed at the incubator.
