Due to the record depreciation of the yen at the end of last year and the persistent decline in domestic demand, an increasing number of companies are considering entering the export business in order to expand their sales channels overseas.
However, the most common question we receive from companies with no export experience and limited resources is, "I don't know where to start."

To solve these issues, Alibaba, which has the know-how to utilize a strong B2B trade platform, and Standage, which offers the all-inclusive trade package plan "DigiTrad," have formed a consortium to create a new service that can handle and support all processes in trade.
Because this service follows the functions of "Digitrad," it is eligible for IT introduction subsidies from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and has been designed to be easy for business operators with financial concerns to adopt.

In this seminar, we will explain the structure of trade and the hurdles to entry, while introducing the potential and overview of Alibaba.com, as well as Standage's all-inclusive trade services.
