News this week: China’s largest e-commerce company, the Alibaba
Group, will establish an e-commerce network association in Taiwan to help
local small- and medium-sized companies to trade more effectively in the global
market.
After opening its office in Taiwan in 2008, Alibaba has been
assisting local companies to make better use of the Internet in their trading
activities. The company also aims to Taiwanese SMEs to promote their products internationally.
More than 20 Taiwanese companies have come together to form this e-commerce
association.
According to Bryan Fu, general manager of Alibaba’s Taiwan
branch, the local manufacturing sector is in the midst of a transition. The
older generation is not adept in using digital technology, while the younger
generation, although born in the age of the Internet, still has limited
knowledge about trading with merchants in western countries using e-commerce. The
association aims to ease the SMEs transition into the world of e-commerce.
