Alibaba International Station Launches Autumn Online Trade Fair

Alibaba International Station Autumn Online Trade Fair officially launched today. In order to help small and medium-sized foreign trade merchants seize the growth opportunities at the end of the year, this online trade fair will last for 3 weeks. With the theme of "Amazing Chinese Crafts", it will fully display the leading manufacturing technologies, industrial chain innovation capabilities, innovative technology and processes of about 100 industries in 10 major industries to the overseas market, and help high-quality Chinese crafts sell to the world with one click through the innovative hybrid exhibition mode of "domestic online exhibition + overseas offline release".

This autumn online trade fair will create "10 major technology release conferences, 100 theme scenes, 5,000 digital booths" comparable to the online Canton Fair held at the same time. The online trade fair's unique "domestic online exhibition + overseas offline release" innovative hybrid exhibition model can make the online exhibition never end and the offline technology release synchronized globally.

Zhang Kuo, president of Alibaba International Station, said that judging from the data of cross-border platforms, the increase in the export share of general manufacturing in emerging countries such as Vietnam in recent years has not had an impact on the business of China's foreign trade SMEs. In fact, China's supply chain has begun to accelerate the transformation to high-quality development. Comparing the export data of related industries in Germany and Vietnam, China's exports are approaching and surpassing those of developed countries with traditional high-end manufacturing in high value-added production and manufacturing.

This year, Alibaba International Station tried out the hybrid exhibition model of "domestic online exhibition + overseas offline new product release" on a large scale for the first time. Online has improved certainty. Alibaba International Station launched online full-link digital services to provide cross-border merchants with one-stop services for the entire process of pre-sales, sales, and after-sales, helping merchants to receive orders, ship goods, and receive payments; offline has improved the experience. With the support of a series of technological displays such as VR Showroom and factory live broadcast, many small and medium-sized enterprises in China can interact with overseas buyers online in real time in the workshop, which is lightweight, low-cost, and can reach overseas buyers with one click.

According to reports, Alibaba International Station has 150 million Class B purchasing customers overseas and connects 100 characteristic industrial belts in China. It is currently the world's largest B2B cross-border e-commerce platform and has become a frontier for high-quality overseas expansion of small and medium-sized foreign trade companies.
