(Togo First) - Invited by Chinese e-trade giant Alibaba, 12 officials from Togo’s ministries and institutions will be in Hangzhou in April for a 3-day workshop on digital economy.
Organized by Alibaba Business School, this workshop is part of the tech behemoth’s “New economy workshop” programme. The latter aims to create a global ecosystem enabling populations to fully tap into opportunities available online.
Togo is the new beneficiary of this program, after Indonesia, Philippines, and Rwanda. It will help Togolese partakers learn more about the transformative impact and opportunities of the digital economy, in addition to mechanisms that must be implemented to spur economic growth through digital finance, smart logistics, e-agriculture, e-learning, e-trade, smart cities and big data.
For its part, Togo’s government believes the workshop will help “it get closer to one of the biggest Chinese groups and explore opportunities to land commercial deals with some Asian firms”.
