Alibaba Business School and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) have brought together 24 Africa-based entrepreneurs to participate in the inaugural eFounders Initiative. The eFounders Initiative is also in line with Alibaba’s mission to help small businesses succeed in their home markets and beyond by leveraging the power of technology. The young e-commerce pioneers travelled from seven African countries to attend the programme at Alibaba’s global headquarters in Hangzhou and learn from China’s experience in building an e-commerce ecosystem. The B20 (Business 20) is a meeting of business leaders held in tandem with political summits of G20 (Group of 20) countries. The eFounders Initiative is the first tangible incarnation of the B200 promise.
