The participants in the program have a number of things in common – they are from small companies, small countries, and many are women. Ms. Sankoloba and many others who participated see their main challenge as improving their place, and the place of their countries, in the global value chain. The participants had lively discussion over coffee on Sunday, the last full day of the program. One point of contention was whether Global Supply Chains make life easier or harder for small companies: while multinational corporations have tended to dominate global trade, the rise of global supply chains creates space for small entrepreneurs to specialize, said Mr. Hugo and others. Meanwhile, they all see China, and DHgate.com, as a friendly force in helping them and their countries move into global markets. “We should help women more, because when you help women you are also helping children,” said Monica Retamal, CEO of Kodea a Chilean company.
DHgate.com is uniquely placed to offer object lessons to these small businesswomen. Diane Wang, DHgate.com’s Founder and CEO, launched the company as a startup in 2004 and has focused DHgate.com’s mission on connecting small businesses around the world with each other. Ms. Wang has long been an advocate for a more inclusive trade, meaning trade with more small businesses, more women, and more diversity. DHgate.com is to date the only e-commerce platform which is dedicated to serving small and medium-sized retailers worldwide, by integrating the whole ecosystem together from logistics to payment, from marketing to customs clearance, to lower the entry barriers for SMEs to access global markets. DHgate.com expects that, though this unique opportunity, more and more people will soon be able to share China’s digital trading skills and technology, transforming the global economy for the better.
