協助本地設計推進亞洲，走向國際
主辦單位澳門生產力暨科技轉移中心希望透過是次活動，推動本地時裝設計及服裝業的發展，加強相關行業人士與其他國家或地區的同業作相互認識及學習交流，了解現今服裝行業的發展與技術，及來年服飾的設計趨勢，從而增強他們的專業知識及設計意念。此外，中心希望藉著相關活動來持續協助本地設計推進亞洲，逐漸走向國際。

鼓勵有志年青人加入服裝設計行列
透過一系列的活動安排，除了讓本地服裝設計從業員了解行業技術與趨勢外，亦鼓勵新一代年青人投身這個行業，為本澳未來發展國際會展旅遊業培育另一批生力軍。

建立商機
參與展覽及表演人士除展示出最新的產品外，活動中亦安排有需要人士進行貿易洽談配對，加強各參與人士合作的機會，並進行貿易的洽談，共創商機。

推廣澳門
澳門特區政府確定了以博彩旅遊業為龍頭、服務業為主體、各行業協調發展的經濟發展路向，逐步將澳門發展成為亞洲地區有特色的、有吸引力的博彩旅遊、國際會展及商貿服務中心。透過是次首屆「澳門服裝週」活動，向亞洲地區代表展示澳門設計作品之餘，同時向他們推廣澳門的美麗景點，特色美食及經商環境等，希望他們回國後多少帶動國民來澳旅遊或營商。此外，這個活動亦可提升本澳時裝設計及服裝行業的國際形象。

Promote Local Designs to enter Asian Markets and eventually into International Market
The event organizer, Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center (CPTTM), would like to introduce this event as a route to promote the development of fashion design industry and garment industry in Macao. It will also be a great opportunity to enhance interaction, learning, and exchange of ideas between local garment industry practitioners and industrialists from other countries or territories. Through this event, it is hoped that local garment industry practitioners can gain more awareness and understanding about recent garment industry development, its latest technology, and the most up-to-date fashion trends, thereby helping to enrich professional competence and design abilities. Moreover, CPTTM hopes to be able to use this event as a springboard to help local designers to enter Asian markets and eventually into the international market.

Encourage Young Local Talents to enter the Fashion Design Industry
Through a series of activities, the event provides opportunities for local fashion designers to gain a better understanding of industry technology and fashion design trends. Moreover, this event also aims to encourage young local talents to enter into the fashion industry, thereby nurturing a new regiment of fresh talents to work in the growing international exhibition, convention, and tourism industry, especially in Macao.

Foster Business Opportunities
Besides giving an opportunity for exhibitors and fashion show organizers to showcase their latest products, the event also offers business matching service for participants who wish to seek business partners during the event. The business matching service aims to foster trade discussions amongst event participants, thereby helping to increase their chance of working collaboratively to create more business opportunities.

Promote Macao as a Tourism Destination
The Macao SAR Government has clearly defined its strategy for economic development, designating gaming and tourism as the leading sector, with other service industries as the backbone sector, while building up gradual and coordinated development of other industries within the Macao territory. The objective is to progressively establish Macao as a tourism and gaming, international exhibition and convention, as well as trading service center with attractive and favorable characteristics. Through “Macao Apparel Week 2007”, besides demonstrating Macao’s apparel designs to representatives from all over the region, CPTTM also hopes to present Macao’s magnificent scenic attractions, sumptuous culinary treats, and superb business environment to our visitors. It is hoped that when our visitors return to their home countries, they will retain fond memories of Macao, thereby helping to create a better environment for tourism and business. At the same time, having a well organized fashion event will definitely help to escalate Macao’s image in the international fashion design and apparel industry.
