Acknowledgments to Supporters
Without the support of our mentors and seniors, the Business Competition Society would not have achieved what it has today. They have believed in our vision from the very beginning and have supported us quietly and wholeheartedly along the way.
It is through their empowerment that MBCS has grown rapidly and continues to thrive. We sincerely thank them for their generosity and selfless dedication. With gratitude in our hearts and everyone’s expectations in mind, we will continue to move forward with purpose.
Honorary Sponsor
Mr. Penghui Lin
He is the President of the “Belt and Road TCM Health Industry Promotion Association,” founder of multiple health-related enterprises, and the regional head of the renowned pharmaceutical company Pien Tze Huang. As a leading young entrepreneur in the Hengqin–Macau area, he is a prominent figure in the region’s health industry. During a visit to Hengqin, President Xi Jinping personally met Mr. Lam—who attended in his role as Director of the Pien Tze Huang Museum—and gave high recognition to his work.
From the early conceptual stage of our society, Mr. Lam showed strong interest and offered invaluable advice that helped us clarify our positioning and shape our development strategy. Even before we were officially registered, he generously provided substantial funding and support, truly becoming our “angel investor.”

Prof. Lewis Hon Keung TAM
He is a distinguished professor in the Department of Finance at the University of Macau’s Faculty of Business Administration.
Whenever we organize lectures, he generously joins and delivers highly valuable sessions for our members.

He has consistently encouraged us to explore and take initiative, always offering kind and constructive support along the way.

Major Support to Campus Contest
At the inaugural CFA Research Challenge – UM MBCS Campus Competition, we received generous support from industry professionals and professors alike. Sponsorship came from the Macau business community, while additional backing was provided by government and business representatives from Zhuhai, along with strong support from the Faculty of Business Administration at the University of Macau. Several FBA professors also served as judges for the competition.
A total of 74 submissions were received, requiring judges to dedicate significant time and effort. Preliminary round judges jointly reviewed all 74 reports, while final round judges evaluated presentations for three hours straight without pause. Their commitment was extraordinary, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for their dedication and support.
