On September 20, ecvv.com, one of the world's largest
B2B (business to business) websites, will help the Shenzhen Council
for Promotion of International Trade (SCPIT) to promote "Shenzhen
International Buying Network" project to the world. This will be
the first time that traditional business networks and e-commerce
have merged.
According to the SCPIT, this large market network aims to adopt
its business concepts toward the Internet with the help of the ecvv
in order to build a large international procurement platform.
International procurement has now become a major channel for
Chinese exports. All the regions across the country are
competing fiercely to build international procurement bases.
Shenzhen, well-known for manufacturing, has numerous mature and
professional markets and is a major export base for Chinese
products
Both the SCPIT and the Shenzhen World Trade Center have large
overseas trading resources. They also maintain good and close
cooperative relationships with various trading organizations around
the world. To sharpen their competitive edge, SCPIT began to build
the "Network for International Procurement" in 2007 by optimizing
Shenzhen's business resources to make a "one-stop" international
procurement and trading platform. Then they joined hands with the
ecvv to provide information about good product suppliers
for professional buyers and also offer suppliers comprehensive
marketing services.
As a major promoter of import and export business in the Greater
China Region, the ecvv can provide all kinds of companies
with services ranging from online marketing to corporate
information portals. It will make the "Network for International
Procurement" a global influence. By June 2007, buyers and sellers
registered with the ecvv totaled over 1 million and the
number of the product catalogues has already exceeded 2 million.
The ecvv now has 50,000 pieces of trade information and 1
million views every day. Its members come from 220 countries and
regions. The ecvv has 550,000 professional buyers who send
more than 15,000 trade inquires every day.
The SCPIT believes that through cooperation with ecvv,
it can make full use of current professional market resources,
share resources efficiently, enhance its services and brand
recognition, and gain a sharper competitive edge.
