Malaysian manufacturers, exporters and sourcing teams face a common problem. Market research takes days. Supplier comparison eats hours. Negotiation drags on across time zones and languages. Alibaba.com and Accio Work are running a live workshop on 18 September 2026 to show how agentic AI removes these bottlenecks and speeds up real trade workflows.
The session runs from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and seats only 20 participants. Attendees walk through the full trade cycle in one sitting: find, source, negotiate, export. Every use case comes from actual Alibaba.com business operations, not theory.
Market And Product Research
Agentic AI cuts research time from days to minutes. The system pulls product trends, pricing benchmarks and demand signals from live marketplace data instead of scattered manual searches. Business owners see which products move in target markets before they commit budget or factory capacity.
Accio Work runs this research as an ongoing agent rather than a single search query. The agent tracks category shifts, seasonal demand and competitor pricing over time. Sourcing teams get updated insights without repeating the same research every quarter.
Supplier Discovery And Comparison
Finding a reliable supplier usually means checking dozens of profiles by hand. Agentic AI compares suppliers side by side on production capacity, certification, minimum order quantity and delivery history. This shortens shortlisting from weeks to a single session.
The workshop shows how the agent flags supplier risk factors automatically, such as inconsistent response times or missing certifications. Businesses avoid costly mismatches before signing any contract.
Sourcing And Negotiation Support
Handling supplier requests across multiple languages and time zones slows down deals. Agentic AI manages first contact, follow up messages and price negotiation groundwork automatically. Sourcing managers step in only when a decision needs human judgment.
This structure lets one sourcing team run parallel conversations with several suppliers at once. Response time drops, and no request sits unanswered in an inbox.
Export Market Opportunities
Finding new export markets often depends on guesswork or expensive consultants. Agentic AI scans demand data across regions and surfaces markets where a product already sells well but faces low competition. Exporters get a starting list backed by data instead of assumption.
The workshop demonstrates how Alibaba.com pairs this market data with buyer behavior on the platform. Businesses see which countries are actively searching for their product category right now.
Live Agentic AI Workflow Demonstration
The final part of the session runs a complete agentic AI workflow from start to finish. Participants watch the agent research a product, shortlist suppliers, draft a negotiation message and identify an export target in real time. No slides, no simulation, just the actual tool in use.
Who Should Attend
This session suits manufacturers, exporters, importers, distributors, sourcing teams and business owners planning international growth. Anyone spending too much time on manual sourcing or market research will find direct value in this format.
