Kiwi firms to ride on Alibaba’s eco-system

ALIBABA Group and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, the New Zealand government’s international business development agency, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on opportunities.

Alibaba will provide support for New Zealand companies to enter the Chinese consumer market through various e-commerce channels, while NZTE will assist New Zealand companies to understand and optimize the opportunities Alibaba’s eco-system offers to help them grow their business in China, a joint statement said yesterday.

“New Zealand businesses are already using Alibaba’s channels to sell a wide range of products such as dairy, fresh food and skincare and this new arrangement offers significant opportunities for New Zealand businesses to reach more consumers as well as advocating New Zealand’s reputation,” NZTE CEO Peter Chrisp said in the statement.

Alibaba’s newly appointed managing director for Australia and New Zealand, Maggie Zhou, will lead business development for the two countries along with New Zealander John O’Loghlen as director.
