- For Hong Kong, Macao and foreign companies looking at the Greater Bay Area, Nansha’s pitch is now concrete: an 803-square-kilometre zone in the geometric centre of the bay area that is packaging duty-free research-equipment mobility, cross-border professional practice, financial convenience and social-security portability into one investment location.
对有意布局大湾区的港澳与外国企业而言，南沙的招商叙事如今很具体：803平方公里、地处大湾区地理几何中心，正在把免税科研设备流动、跨境执业、金融便利与社保衔接打包进同一投资目的地。
Nansha’s four-channel pitch to Macao: equipment, talent, capital and daily life | 南沙对澳”四通”框架：设备、人才、资金与生活
Overview
On 25 August 2026, a joint media tour organised by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee — themed “Aligning with the 15th Five-Year Plan, Unleashing New Advantages” — visited Guangzhou’s Nansha district. In a briefing, Nansha Development Zone (Guangdong FTZ Nansha Area) management committee officials set out how the zone intends to deepen cooperation with Macao across four channels: equipment mobility, talent mobility, capital mobility and daily-life integration — in the shorthand of the briefing, “设备通、人畅通、资金通、生活通”.
The framework responds directly to Macao’s own third five-year plan, which proposes “actively exploring the joint construction of special cooperation platforms with Nansha and elsewhere, and studying the joint construction of a Guangdong–Macao vehicle-export platform”. That single sentence in Macao’s plan gives Nansha a concrete work agenda, and the zone is now turning it into serviceable policy.
Channel 1 — Equipment mobility (设备通)
Cross-border research is often blocked by equipment: Macao scientists collaborating with mainland institutions need to bring instruments and apparatus into Guangdong and, ideally, move them back and forth as projects evolve. Nansha’s answer is the first national pilot for cross-border mobility supervision of duty-exempt research equipment, built around a “one application, valid across the project” (一次申请、项目内通用) filing model. A research team files once for a project and may then move the equipment in and out flexibly during the whole research cycle, reporting usage on a quarterly basis. This removes the friction of re-approval for each movement and is designed to make Macao research teams more willing to run joint programmes with mainland partners in Nansha.
Channel 2 — Talent mobility (人畅通)
Two mechanisms carry this channel:
- Professional qualifications. Nansha implements the “Greater Bay Area Pass” project to remove blockages in standard certification, cross-border practice, data flow and clearance. The recognised list of overseas professional qualifications has grown to 248 items, and a “practice first, file later” (先执业、后备案) model lets Macao professionals start practising in Nansha without waiting for a pre-approval cycle, filing afterwards.
- Social insurance and tax. Macao residents working in Nansha who already contribute to Macao’s social-security fund are exempt from participating in mainland employee basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance. Macao residents working in Nansha are also exempt from personal income tax to the extent their tax burden exceeds what they would pay in Macao. For Macao professionals this materially improves net pay and removes the double-contribution problem.
Channel 3 — Capital mobility (资金通)
Nansha’s financial story rests on the cross-border trade and investment high-level opening pilot, whose cumulative transaction volume has exceeded USD 62 billion. The zone wants to build out sci-tech finance, industry-chain finance and supply-chain finance as its signature specialisations, accelerating convenient cross-border fund flows for Macao companies setting up in Nansha. On the trade side, Nansha Port has built a route network connecting Portuguese-speaking countries, and a Guangdong–Macao–Portuguese-speaking-countries quality food supply-chain centre has located in Nansha — a practical bridge for Macao’s role as the China-Portugal platform.
Channel 4 — Daily-life integration (生活通)
The final channel is about making Nansha a place Macao people can actually live in:
- A Guangdong–Macao social-security “one-window” counter (粤澳社保一窗通专窗) handles 66 Guangdong social-security services and 31 Macao services in one place, including cross-border collection of Macao benefits such as the “two pensions, five subsidies” and central provident fund, with cross-border remittance fees waived.
- Supporting schemes such as “Greater Bay Area Social Security Pass” and “Hong Kong/Macao Medicines and Medical Devices Connect” (港澳药械通) extend the convenience into healthcare — Macao residents in Nansha can see doctors using Hong Kong/Macao-registered medicines and devices, with related insurance arrangements.
- Nansha reports over 3,100 Hong Kong and Macao enterprises already located in the zone and more than 11,000 Hong Kong and Macao residents.
The two sides framed the effort in deliberately human terms: “the alignment of institutions is for the closeness of hearts; the opening of channels is for the continuity of friendship.”
What this means for investors
For Hong Kong, Macao and foreign companies evaluating the Greater Bay Area, the four-channel framework is worth reading as an investment-location signal:
- R&D-intensive firms get an equipment story. If your work involves bringing instruments into China for joint research, the “one application, project-wide” pilot is a genuine operational advantage compared with per-movement approval elsewhere.
- Talent-heavy businesses should price the tax and social-insurance package. The Macao resident tax exemption and social-insurance treatment directly lower the cost of Macao hires, which matters for professional-services, healthcare and education ventures relying on Macao talent.
- Vehicle-export and Portuguese-speaking-market players should watch the pipeline. The proposed Guangdong–Macao vehicle-export platform and the Portuguese-speaking supply-chain centre suggest Nansha is positioning itself as the bay area’s gateway for Macao-linked trade routes.
- The social-security one-window reduces the “stickiness” problem. Cross-border benefit collection and fee-free remittances lower the personal cost of relocating staff, which improves retention for companies moving Macao employees to Nansha.
Practical steps
- If your company runs joint research with Macao institutions, ask the Nansha authorities about the duty-exempt research-equipment filing model and the quarterly usage reporting requirement.
- When hiring Macao professionals, confirm their Macao social-security-fund status up front and model the mainland social-insurance exemption and personal-income-tax difference into the compensation package.
- Monitor the vehicle-export platform and Portuguese-speaking supply-chain initiatives for concrete application windows and subsidy schemes.
- For staff relocation, use the Guangdong–Macao social-security one-window counter and confirm which of the 66+31 services apply to your employees’ situation.
- Keep the 15% enterprise-income-tax and Macao-resident individual-income-tax preferences in view: Nansha says it will continue optimising these along with the second-phase implementation of the Nansha Plan.

南沙对澳”四通”框架：设备、人才、资金与生活
概述
2026年8月25日，中央港澳办”对接’十五五’发挥新优势”主题联合采访走进广州南沙。在座谈中，南沙开发区（自贸区南沙片区）管委会方面系统阐述了深化粤澳合作的”四通”框架：设备通、人畅通、资金通、生活通。
这一框架直接回应澳门第三个五年规划——其中明确提出”积极探索与南沙等地共建特色合作平台、研究粤澳共同建设汽车出海平台”。澳门规划中的这一句话，为南沙提供了具体工作议程，而南沙正把它转化为可落地的政策。
通道一——设备通
跨境科研常被设备卡住：与内地机构合作的澳门科学家，需要把仪器设备带入广东，并随项目推进灵活往返。南沙的答案是全国率先探索的减免税科研设备跨境流动监管创新，核心是”一次申请、项目内通用“备案模式。科研团队对一个项目完成一次申报，即可在整个研究周期内灵活跨境调配设备，只需按季度反馈使用情况。这消除了每次移动重新审批的摩擦，意在让澳门科研团队更愿意与内地伙伴在南沙开展联合项目。
通道二——人畅通
两条机制承载这一通道：
- 职业资格。 南沙深入实施”湾区通”工程，打通标准认证、跨境执业、数据流动、通关出行等卡点。境外职业资格认可清单已扩至248项，并推行”先执业、后备案“模式——澳门专业人士无需等待事前审批周期即可在南沙执业，事后备案即可。
- 社保与个税。 已在南沙工作且已参加澳门社会保障基金的澳门居民，可免于参加内地企业职工基本养老保险、失业保险；在南沙工作的澳门居民，其个人所得税税负超过澳门税负的部分免征。对澳门专业人士而言，这实质改善税后收入，并消除双重缴费问题。
通道三——资金通
南沙的金融叙事依托跨境贸易投资高水平开放试点，累计交易额已超过620亿美元。南沙要做强科创金融、产业链金融、供应链金融等特色金融体系，加速便利澳门企业来南沙发展的跨境资金往来。贸易端，南沙港构建起连接葡语系国家的完善航线网络，粤澳葡语国家优质食品供应链中心已落户南沙——这是澳门发挥中葡平台作用的务实桥梁。
通道四——生活通
最后一条通道解决的是”澳门人真能在南沙生活”的问题：
- “粤澳社保一窗通”专窗可同时办理66项广东社保服务和31项澳门服务，包括澳门”两金五津”及中央公积金等跨境领取，并免除跨境汇款手续费。
- “湾区社保通””港澳药械通”等配套把便利延伸至医疗——在南沙的澳门居民可用港澳注册的药品与医疗器械就医，并有相应保险衔接。
- 南沙披露，区内已集聚港澳企业超3100家、港澳居民超1.1万名。
双方刻意用有人情味的方式表述这一努力：”制度的衔接是为了心灵的贴近，通道的打通是为了情谊的延续。”
对投资者的意义
对评估大湾区的港澳与外国企业而言，”四通”框架值得作为投资选址信号来解读：
- 研发密集型企业得到”设备故事”。 若业务涉及携设备入境开展联合研究，”一次申请、项目内通用”试点相对其他地区逐次审批，是真实的运营优势。
- 人才密集型企业应把个税与社保政策计入成本。 澳门居民个税免征与社保待遇直接降低聘用澳门人才的成本，对依赖澳门人才的专业服务、医疗与教育项目尤其重要。
- 汽车出海与葡语市场玩家应关注管线。 拟议中的粤澳汽车出海平台与葡语国家供应链中心，表明南沙正把自己定位为大湾区对接澳门关联贸易通道的门户。
- 社保一窗通降低”留人难”问题。 跨境福利领取与免费汇款降低了人员调动的个人成本，有助于提高把澳门员工迁至南沙的企业的留存率。
实务建议
- 若企业与澳门机构开展联合科研，向南沙有关部门咨询免税科研设备备案模式及季度使用反馈要求。
- 聘用澳门专业人士时，事先确认其澳门社保基金参保状态，并把内地社保豁免与个税差额优惠计入薪酬方案。
- 关注汽车出海平台与葡语供应链中心的申报窗口与扶持办法。
- 涉及员工迁居，使用”粤澳社保一窗通”，并确认66+31项服务中哪些适用于本企业员工情形。
- 持续关注15%企业所得税与澳门居民个税优惠政策：南沙表示将随《南沙方案》第二阶段实施继续优化。
