Bernie first demonstrated the three core pillars of cross-border e-commerce strategy: choosing the right market, telling the right story, and using the right tools<\/strong>.<\/p>

In terms of market analysis, Bernie pointed out that while the European and American markets are mature, their growth has slowed. Southeast Asia, on the other hand, though smaller in scale, has tremendous growth potential\u2014especially in cross-border e-commerce\u2014making it an ideal starting point for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to go global.<\/p>

Different markets, however, attract customers in different ways. In Southeast Asia, consumers prefer<\/strong> social proof, livestream shopping, and influencer (KOL) marketing<\/strong>. The rapid rise of TikTok Shop in the region is a prime example. Moreover, local e-wallets and payment tools\u2014such as GoPay in Indonesia and MoMo in Vietnam\u2014are highly popular, making online shopping even more convenient.<\/p>

For Europe and the U.S., Bernie cited multiple e-commerce studies showing that in-depth content and compelling brand stories<\/strong> can significantly improve customer loyalty and conversion rates.<\/strong> Consumers in these markets also tend to be more cautious when shopping; for example, German buyers often compare prices three times before making a purchase. Therefore, emphasizing brand value, social responsibility, and trust<\/strong> is key for success in these markets. AI can further enhance content creation aligned with these themes.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Aside from market strategy, adequate resources are also crucial for \u201cgoing global.\u201d Andy Li, General Manager of Corporate Banking at Fusion Bank, shared reliable solutions to the multiple challenges faced by SMEs, such as limited funding, difficulty opening accounts, and inconvenience in cross-border payments.<\/p>

In 2024, Fusion Bank partnered with WeBank to conduct on-site research in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, focusing on overseas-expanding enterprises with annual revenues ranging from 10 million to 300 million RMB. The findings revealed three major pain points related to financial services:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Account opening:<\/strong> complicated procedures, extensive documentation, and cross-border restrictions often require intermediaries, while information transparency is lacking.<\/li>
  2. Financing:<\/strong> high loan approval thresholds, particularly unfriendly to \u201cwhite-listed\u201d companies with no credit history. The application process is burdensome, and approval standards are opaque.<\/li>
  3. Cross-border payments:<\/strong> high remittance fees and non-transparent currency exchange costs, which can strain cash flow.<\/li><\/ol>

    Andy shared that Fusion Bank has launched tailored solutions<\/strong> to address these challenges<\/strong> and assigns a dedicated relationship manager to each client to provide consultation and professional support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    In the panel discussion,\u00a0Bernie and Andy continued analyzing both the online and offline challenges SMEs face in their international expansion. ECAHK Chairman Stanley Lee delivered an insightful discussion on how SMEs can leverage Hong Kong\u2019s brand influence while relying on Chinese<\/strong> Mainland\u2019s supply chain advantage<\/strong> to expand globally.<\/p>

    Meanwhile, Cherry Yeung, Senior Economist at HKTDC, shared findings from recent reports. She noted that given the current unstable global environment, many exporters are diversifying sourcing channels and developing overseas markets<\/strong> to reduce reliance on the U.S. market. King He, General Manager of Hoodisk Electronics Co Ltd, shared success stories of Chinese Mainland SMEs using AI to discover new global opportunities<\/strong>. He emphasized that AI has broad applications\u2014what once required large budgets for data analysis and brand building can now be achieved efficiently, saving both time and manpower.<\/p>
