To help businesses adapt to these new circumstances, Winchell Cheung (HKTDC Director, Midwest) and his Chicago-based team hosted a webinar on how businesses could better connect with their Asian partners and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>With most face-to-face events cancelled, Mr. Cheung noted there had been a major trend of businesses shifting their activities online \u2013 especially in e-commerce, customer service and engagement, B2B sourcing and business networking.<\/p>\n<p>To assist businesses during these difficult times, HKTDC launched the Spring Virtual Expo. Running throughout April, the Expo is a digital event that features suppliers across four themes \u2013 Tech: Lighting &amp; Electronics, Gifts &amp; Housewares, Lifestyle, and Fashion &amp; Beauty \u2013 providing an alternate avenue for global buyers to source products and meet potential suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the virtual expo, HKTDC also offers personalised services through their award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcing.hktdc.com\/\">sourcing platform<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/businessmatching.hktdc.com\/en\/index.html\">Online Business Matching<\/a>. Furthermore, businesses can take advantage of <a href=\"http:\/\/info.hktdc.com\/dm\/03162020_CEDB_showcase\/index_en.html?DCSext.dept=2&amp;WT.mc_id=1849632\">HKTDC\u2019s Special Promotion Packages<\/a> at discounted rates to build greater brand awareness.<\/p>\n<p>The next virtual expo will coincide with HKTDC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ssw.hktdc.com\/en\/\">Summer Sourcing Week<\/a> in this July, an international marketplace featuring concurrent trade shows at the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more?
