Overview
Technology that unleashes the innovative potential of companies. That is what Alibaba Cloud Day is all about. At this half-day seminar, you will hear about our latest product innovations and big data and cloud computing trends. You will also hear from respected and accomplished speakers on what businesses can do to accelerate growth, innovation, and digital transformation.
Alongside Singapore Innovation day, we will also celebrate 910 Alibaba Customer day which falls on September 10th. We are reminded of our mission “to make it easy to do business anywhere” with our customers and partners since the first day.
No matter how many changes we embrace, we will hold in high esteem the belief—“customer first”. The value of Alibaba is always embodied in the pursuit of the dream and the values we create for customers.
