2. CBET Introduction
The Cross-Border e-Commerce Training (CBET) Workshop is an initiative by ABAC China in the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) for the purpose of promoting cross-border trading through e- commerce, which is also an effective initiative to help the SMEs and provide actionable solutions to their common issues, including access to international market, access to finance, capacity building, innovation & entrepreneurship. The program was endorsed at the ABAC Meeting in Auckland in February 2014, and was also recognized by the China MOFCOM, MIIT and CCPIT. E-Commerce has been recognized as the catalyst of economy growth in the past few years. In 2013, China has become the world’s largest e-Commerce market in the world, making quite a lot of changes in the market, and created a lot of new business and job opportunities. A new global value chain has been created gradually, resulting in new opportunities in the market, but also challenges to traditional trading.
Ms. Diane Wang, Founder & CEO of DHgate, is the initiator of this CBET program. She was also the co-founder and CEO of Joyo.com back in 1999, which became China’s largest B2C website at that time, and was acquired by Amazon in 2004. DHgate started in 2004, and was focused in cross- border B2B e-commerce business, an all-in-one platform supporting full complete transaction, helping China SMEs to sell their products to the global market through a new electronic channel, bypassing obstacles in traditional trading.
In the past 10 years’ experience in China, it was proven how SMEs can be effectively supported to start or develop their business through cross-border e- commerce, which can be evidenced by over 1 million SME sellers on the DHgate platform, if not counting other platforms. As an active alternate member in ABAC, Diane wish to bring her experience further to the international level through this CBET program, which also brings opportunities for international networking and CBT business opportunities.
