Finding Solutions in Macau for Macau: António Trindade on the Future of CESL Asia and Economic Diversification
為澳門尋解方： 田達德剖析盛世集團戰略與經濟多元之路
In a recent in-depth interview to Plataforma Macau António Trindade, President and CEO of CESL Asia, offered reflection on Macau's economic development challenges — and the company's ongoing commitment to finding real solutions that go beyond the city's traditional gaming-dependent model.
在全球局勢與本地挑戰的交織下，澳門正積極尋求經濟轉型的可行之道。盛世集團董事局主席及行政總裁田達德近日在接受《澳門平台》專訪時，分享了對澳門未來發展的見解，更闡述了盛世集團在突破博彩主導模式上的實踐經驗。
António Trindade highlighted that, historically, entrepreneurship in Macau has been linked mainly to sectors orbiting gaming, such as entertainment, retail, food and beverage, and finance.
While the scale of these businesses expanded during periods of economic growth, the underlying model has not fundamentally changed to reflect the deep changes that the Macau Government is implementing in the gaming industry and the opportunities arising from economic diversification, with a focus on the support of the internationalization of the Greater Bay Area economy.
田達德指出，至今澳門的產業結構仍深度依赖博彩業。長期以來，以博彩為核心的經濟模式雖带動娛樂、零售、餐飲及金融服務等周邊產業規模擴張，但整體商業生態並未因應澳門博彩業的變革及經濟多元化機遇而發生根本性變化，特別是未能配合支持大灣區經濟國際化的政策方向。
However, he sees tremendous untapped potential. Macau could act as a highly sophisticated service platform, developing value-added solutions not only for its own economy but also for the Greater Bay Area, Europe, and emerging economies across Africa and South America. He stressed,"Macau's platform must be complemented by another platform" — Portugal platform may be the best option to create real access of the Greater Bay Area economy to international markets, far beyond just Portuguese-speaking countries.
面對結構性困境，田達德認為澳門具備轉型為高端專業服務樞紐的潛力——不僅能支撑本地經濟，更有望辐射至粤港澳大灣區及更廣泛的國際市場，包括歐洲、非洲與南美等新興經濟體。他強調，「澳門平台須協同其他平台發揮綜合作用」——葡萄牙平台有望成為大灣區邁向國際舞台的最佳選擇，其作用並不僅限於葡語國家市場。
This thinking has directly shaped CESL Asia's strategy over the past decade. From investing in renewable technologies in Portugal to acquiring major agricultural assets such as Monte do Pasto, CESL Asia has built tangible bridges between Macau, Europe, and broader global markets.
這一戰略理念也深刻影響了盛世集團在過去數十年的發展布局。從投資葡萄牙的可再生能源技術，乃至收購大型農業項目Monte do Pasto，盛世集團始終致力於構建連接澳門、歐洲及其他國際市場的堅實橋樑。
Nevertheless, António Trindade admits that much of the platform remains an aspiration. "The Sino-Lusophone platform does not exist in practical terms," he said, pointing out that Macau lacks a structured economic infrastructure to deliver on its platform ambitions.
然而，田達德亦坦言，「從現實意義而言，中葡平台並不存在。」所謂的「中葡平台」目前在實際層面仍停留於構想階段，澳門尚未建立足以支撑此定位的實質經濟基礎，以實現這一平台的願景。
Adding to the challenge is the reality that the costs of doing business in Macau — from energy to labour and property — are out of sync with its neighbours. "Electricity in Macau risks becoming ten times more expensive than in Zhuhai, " António warned. And it is not just energy — across services, real estate, transportation, and daily goods, Macau's higher costs drive consumer spending across the border, contributing to the "Northern Consumption" phenomenon.
他更指出，從能源乃至人力及資產等營商成本遠高於鄰近地區，進一步制約了經濟轉型的進程，「以電力成本為例，澳門的電價恐是珠海的十倍。」房地產、服務、交通及日用百貨等價格亦長期居高，導致本地居民「北上消費」成為常態。
According to António Trindade, if Macau genuinely wants to diversify, some difficult reforms must happen — "even by decree" if necessary. This means addressing not only the energy market but also issues like artificially inflated rents, transportation, and high operational costs that make diversification extremely difficult.
在他看來，若澳門要實現真正的經濟多元，必須推動一系列結構性改革，包括開放能源市場、抑制租金漲勢、降低運輸及營運成本等。否則，多元化轉型將面臨極大阻力，舉步維艱。
Despite the obstacles, CESL Asia remains committed to building the solutions Macau needs — innovating in service models, applying technology and AI, and positioning the company as a bridge between economies.
儘管挑戰重重，盛世集團仍堅持以創新服務模式為主導，積極應用科技與人工智慧，力圖成為連接不同經濟體的橋樑，承續其作為國際交流樞紐的角色。
"What Macau has been for 500 years — a platform — it can continue to be, if we see it for what it really is, not as a fantasy," António Trindade affirmed.
田達德以歷史視野總結:「澳門五百年來始終是交流平台，只要務實耕耘，必能持續發揮其全球價值。」
For António Trindade, the vision is clear: a Macau that creates and exports real value, contributing meaningfully to the Greater Bay Area and global markets.
他的願景清晰而堅定——重塑澳門成為創造實質價值的國際樞紐，為大灣區及世界經濟注入新動能。

He suggested that the Macau Govemment should actively align with Macau's economy with national and Greater Bay Area development strategies, and emphasized that support in terms of land, human resources and transport infrastructure, and market access should be provided to local non-gaming enterprises.
他建議澳門特區政府應積極推動澳門經濟與國家發展戰略及粤港澳大灣區的深度融合，並強調在土地、人力資源和交通基礎設施，以及市場准入等方面，應為本地非博彩企業提供更有力的支援與資源保障。
Furthermore, he also noted that the basis for the future development of the Macau Platform should be cross-border economic cooperation and in-depth discussions should take place in a working forum with the leadership of the Macau Government and institutions in the Greater Bay Area.
此外，他亦指出，澳門的中葡平台發展應以區域經濟合作為基礎，並與澳門政府及大灣區等相關機構合作，通過中葡論壇深入探討合作機遇與發展策略。
Finally, he expressed his hope that Macau “will become more beautiful as an international metropolis” under the determination and clarity of intent shown by Mr. Sam Ho Fai, the Chief Executive of Macau.
最後，他對澳門未來發展表達了深切的期許，深信在行政長官岑浩輝先生的領導下，澳門將「作為國際大都市變得更加美麗」!

FOCUS SUN actively responded to the lberian Blackout
FOCUS SUN團隊積極應對
伊比利亞半島停電事故
On April 28, 2025, at 11:33 WEST, a massive blackout, lasting for approximately 19 hours, hit Portugal and Spain, caused by a sudden failure in southern Spain's power generation. Within seconds, automated systems cut power across the lberian Peninsula, leaving millions without electricity, transport, or communication.
西歐時間2025年4月28日上午11時33分，葡萄牙與西班牙遭遇持續長達19小時的大規模停電。事故源於西班牙南部一座主要發電廠突發故障，導致自動化防護系統在數秒內切斷整個伊比利亞半島的電力供。数百萬人因此陷入停電、交通瘫痪與通訊中斷的狀態。
Portugal's grid collapsed as it was importing energy from Spain, and even parts of southern France were briefly affected. The immediate impacts were dramatic: public transport came to a standstill, traffic lights failed, and communication networks were reserved for emergency services. Most power returned by the night of April 28, but internet and plant operations took longer to restore.
由於葡萄牙部分電力依赖於西班牙輸入，其電網也隨之全面崩溃。事故甚至波及法國南部，造成當地短暫供電中斷。主要影響包括：公共交通系統癱痪，旅客滞留；城市交通標誌失靈，導致道路混亂；通訊網路僅供應急用途。雖然大部分地區於當日晚間恢復供電，但網路服務與多家工廠的運作仍需更長時間方可全面復原。
