Finding a supplier can be quick. Making a sound global trade decision rarely is.
Businesses often move between market reports, supplier profiles, spreadsheets, quotations and lengthy enquiry threads. When several options must be evaluated at once, even a promising opportunity can become difficult to manage.
What if one AI-powered workflow could help connect those tasks?
On 18 September 2026, Alibaba.com and Alibaba.com Accio Work will present a live demonstration of how agentic AI can support real global trade activities—from market research and supplier discovery to negotiation and export opportunity exploration.
Attendance is limited to only 20 participants.

How Can Agentic AI Support Global Trade?
A conventional chatbot mainly answers questions or suggests what to do next. Agentic AI is designed to go further by organising and carrying out a sequence of tasks under the user’s direction.
Alibaba.com Accio Work applies this approach to business workflows. Instead of treating research, sourcing and operations as separate activities, it can help turn a business objective into coordinated actions.
The aim is not to remove human judgement. It is to reduce repetitive work, organise information and help decision-makers evaluate their options more clearly.

This three-hour session will demonstrate four connected stages:
- FIND: Research Markets and Products
Use agentic AI to research demand, explore product opportunities and organise market insights before entering a new market.
- SOURCE: Discover and Compare Suppliers
See how Alibaba.com Accio Work can help find suitable suppliers and compare options without relying on disconnected tabs and spreadsheets.
- NEGOTIATE: Manage Enquiries More Efficiently
Discover how AI can support supplier enquiries, follow-ups and negotiations while key commercial decisions remain under human control.
- EXPORT: Explore International Opportunities
Explore how Alibaba.com Accio Work and Alibaba.com can support export research, opportunity discovery and international business operations.
Agentic AI does not guarantee suppliers, overseas buyers or export sales. Its value is helping businesses research faster, prepare better and make more informed trade decisions.
Why Is This Live Session Different?
This is not a broad seminar filled with general predictions about the future of AI.
It is a three-hour live demonstration focused on trade work that businesses already handle every day.
Participants will see how agentic AI connects multiple trade activities within a practical business workflow, making it easier to evaluate where the technology could support their own operations.
Who Should Attend?
This session is suitable for:
- Manufacturers researching international demand
- Exporters exploring new overseas opportunities
- Importers and distributors searching for suitable suppliers
- Sourcing and procurement teams managing comparisons and enquiries
- Business owners evaluating AI for international growth
- Alibaba.com users looking for more efficient business operations
No matter which side of global trade you operate on, the session is designed to show how connected AI workflows may help reduce fragmented and repetitive work.
