China's Macao Special Administrative Region is charting a bold new course, moving beyond its casino-driven economy to embrace high-tech industries. In partnership with Hengqin, a neighboring island that is a part of the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, Macao startups are transforming cutting-edge research into real-world solutions. At the forefront is entrepreneur Lei Zhen, whose nanometer silver wire is a revolutionary material for the future of human-machine interactions. By establishing a reliable domestic supply, Lei has helped Chinese tech manufacturers cut costs, enhance products, and accelerate innovation.
