This project belongs to a government scheme initiated by the Macao Economic Bureau to help established old brands to enhance their competitiveness.

 

These year-four Culinary Arts students conducted numerous visit to the restaurant to assess the quality of service and dishes, they conducted market and industry analysis before proposing innovative ways to prepare, cook, garnish and present the dishes offered by Medan Indonesia Restaurant to meet the fast changing market. In order to provide students with additional space and resources to support their work, a newly opened co-working space called the Hub-Macau offered students free accessibility to their facilities until the end of the project aiming to facilitate a “triple helix of university-industry-government” relationship to nurture potential for innovation and economic development.
