Macau, the former Portuguese colony that is now the world's biggest gambling center, is planning to host a tech fair next year to match the famed CES in Las Vegas.
The brains behind the "Beyond" conference are Lu Gang, founder of Chinese tech news media company TechNode, which was TechCrunch's former China partner, and Jason Ho, a Macanese venture investor and a member of the CPPCC Beijing, China's top political advisory body, who also enjoys deep connections in the Macau government.
The event, which is partially sponsored by the Macau government, signals the region's long game to diversify its casino-focused economy for its population of 600,000. The fair has also won "support" from the Guangdong provincial government, which is pitching its own "Greater Bay Area" comprising Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau and other cities in the region, to rival the San Francisco Bay Area.
