Macau gambles on tech for its Covid-19 recovery

Macau is betting that technology will help the gambling hub recover from its Covid-19 induced economic slump.

The territory has been badly affected by travel bans because its economy is heavily reliant on gambling.

Next June, the city plans to host 'Beyond', a technology event loosely modelled on the massive CES trade show in Las Vegas.

The event would also showcase Macau as an alternative to Hong Kong as a gateway to China, said its organiser.

However, the date of the tech trade show could be pushed back to October if Covid-19 isn't under control in time.
