Evolving consumer behaviour and preferences, disruption to supply chains, and changes to sales operations are shifting business as we know it. Australian and New Zealand businesses have always been positive and creative to embrace changes and take advantage of new opportunities.

The Conference will also showcase a series of new business solutions for small and medium businesses to scale up their growth in cross-border e-commerce. We will also provide insights on how payment and remittance as well as cloud technology and services can help SMBs to be more efficient and productive.
Digitalisation is changing the business dynamics and the world as we know it. We will discuss a range of tools that businesses can utilise to be successful across China and the Asia Pacific region.
As an integral part of this event, experts from Alibaba Group and leading local businesses will guide you through the opportunities for Australian and New Zealand small and medium brands in the export market and digital economy.
