La crisi sanitaria internazionale ha cambiato e cambierà profondamente i comportamenti dei consumatori, modificando necessariamente le strategie di vendita, l’approccio al mercato e l’organizzazione delle nostre aziende.

Having the world’s largest number of domestic consumers, China is a must-play, must-win market. In addition to scale, China is strategically important to apply digital innovation in e-commerce and O2O sales. While Hong Kong is notable for its advanced infrastructure and good international trade network, it has also experienced growth in local e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a commonly used gateway for doing e-commerce in China.

Making inroads into Hong Kong, whether for local or international retailers, is an attractive proposition. Here we see retailers and brands move to true consumer-centric operating models, embed data and analytics into everything they do, and use innovative emerging technologies to create compelling customer experiences. If you are starting a new e-commerce business in Hong Kong and China, you are likely in the middle of making a decision on marketing strategy and which technology you should use.

On Tuesday, June 9th, join us at our sharing session, in collaboration with PwC, to learn a range of e-commerce solutions and best practices to tackle the possible challenges for your e-commerce business China via Hong Kong.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the supply chain of many companies and the stability of supply is one of the main concerns. No matter whether the companies keep working with existing suppliers, or plan to find new suppliers in other markets, it is essential to make sure that your business partners are reliable. You should also pay attention to the cash flow issue which is another major factor to maintain a healthy supply chain.

During this webinar, our speaker from CRIF will explain how to enhance supplier risk management with business information, which is an important tool to evaluate suppliers effectively so as to ensure a stable supply. Also FundPark will introduce the financing situation for small and medium enterprises, and share how to manage cashflow in the supply chain, by turning SME’s invoices/purchase orders into cash.

On Wednesday, June 17th, join our webinar in collaboration with CRIF to learn more about the current concerns associated with the changes in the supply paces.

Connected Retail Experiences will be the definitive omni-channel customer experience event for all retail stakeholders across the region. Contrary to what you might have read in the newspapers over the past few weeks, shopping is not dead and the act of buying things that we want or need is not going to disappear ever. However, the way in which we discover products, evaluate their value and ultimately buy and receive them may have now changed in ways we could not have previously imagined.

On July 7^th – 8^th we will explore some of these changes and discuss what we have learned and where the opportunities lie in this brave new world ‘driven by data, powered by people’.
