WHILE the Covid-19 outbreak continues to hamper global business activities, online sourcing has become the ultimate solution that makes trade transactions possible. Riding on the success of the debut Summer Sourcing Weeks | Go ONLINE, the HKTDC is organizing its next online exhibition in November, Autumn Sourcing Week | ONLINE (ASWO).
Benjamin Chau, HKTDC Deputy executive director, said: “The uncertainties brought by the Covid-19 pandemic have led more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to focus on online promotions and operations, which has quickly become the ‘new normal’ for conducting business. Given that the pandemic has prevented buyers and exhibitors from meeting in person, the HKTDC has introduced online business matching to enable networking and deal- making.”
