Navigating Global Markets with Alibaba.com

Event Overview
Food South Australia have partnered with Alibaba.com and the Department for Trade and Investment to provide you with a free and informative session that will be your gateway to understanding the transformative ecosystem of Alibaba.com and how it can redefine your business's global reach.

What Alibaba.com offers
While Alibaba Group may be renowned for connecting brands with consumers in China through marketplaces like Tmall, Alibaba.com offers a distinct and strategic platform for B2B trade, connecting to over 400 million wholesale buyers worldwide. Alibaba.com provides a global platform that is especially beneficial for South Australia’s key industries such as agriculture, food and beverage, and seafood, connecting them to markets across over 200 countries.

Why This Matters?
Founded in 1999 by the visionary Jack Ma, Alibaba.com has become the world's largest online trade show, linking brands and traders with a global audience of professional buyers. They are now bringing their 'Gold Supplier' program to South Australia, customised to meet the specific needs of local businesses.
