Yiwugo CEO Wang Jianjun Invited to Share Experience at CIFTIS


YIWU, China, Sept. 10, 2020 — On the afternoon of September 7, 2020, Wang Jianjun, CEO of Yiwugo, was invited to deliver a speech entitled "Promoting the Development of New E-Commerce Business Modes for Specialized Small Commodity Market with the Engine of Innovation" at the China E-Commerce Convention during the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), where he shared the practices, experience as well as development concept of Yiwugo in promoting the digital transformation of brick-and-mortar specialized market of small commodities by innovation.

As introduced by Mr. Wang, Yiwugo is an online platform for Yiwu Market, the world’s largest brick-and-mortar wholesale market of small commodities. Due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce has become a must for vendors in the brick-and-mortar market. Based on its experience in digitalized trade platform over the years, Yiwugo has been continuously innovating e-commerce business modes, leading to significant reduction of the traffic acquisition cost for its vendors and achieving major development in itself as well.

Wang Jianjun, CEO of Yiwugo, at CIFTIS

In his speech, Mr. Wang elaborated on the following points:

Simplifying the platform process and facilitating operations by vendors

Yiwugo has a deep insight into the business modes of the wholesale market of small commodities. Yiwu boasts the best supply chain for small commodities, the requirements for e-commerce functions differ from wholesale business and retail business, and some senior practitioners engaging in the wholesale business are of relatively old age. In view of this, Yiwugo is committed to simplifying the platform process wherever possible so as to facilitate user operations, thereby gaining popularity among the vendors in the market.

Reducing the E-Commerce traffic acquisition cost for specialized market vendors

Given the rich variety and slim profit margin of small commodities as well as the surging traffic cost of e-commerce platforms in recent years, small commodity vendors facing enormous pressure from the traffic cost. To provide low-cost traffic for them, Yiwugo is committed to attracting effective traffic by, for example, promoting itself through channels such as Facebook and Google, researching intelligent matching algorithms, and improving the accuracy of promotion, thereby effectively attracting visits by small commodity buyers. To date, the number of registered buyers on Yiwugo.com has reached 6 million; the daily average visits 800,000; and the daily average PV 15 million. Such effective traffic has been distributed to more than 50,000 quality suppliers of small commodities on the platform, securing a much lower traffic acquisition cost than those of similar e-commerce platforms.

Promoting the clustering effect of small commodity industrial belts and building a global digital platform for small commodities

Through eight years’ development, Yiwugo has provided a digital channel featuring synchronized online and offline development. In 2020, Yiwugo has developed its strategy into building a world-leading digital platform for small commodities. To this end, Yiwugo plans to integrate the domestic industrial belts of small commodities and expand the market scale for the suppliers and buyers of small commodities. In the future, overseas buyers may not only purchase the products of Yiwu market on Yiwugo, but also possibly procure the products from other small commodity industrial belts in China.

Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE) Showcases Strong Ecosystems in the Post-Pandemic World, Deploying Ahead in Four Areas to Embrace the Smart Future

TAIPEI, Sept. 7, 2020 — Over 1,000 innovative technologies will lead Taiwan into a smart future. The annual Taiwan Innotech Expo, which brings together industry, government and academia, will be launched at Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 on September 24, 2020. The Expo exhibitions will revolve around "Resilient Taiwan for a Smart Future" under the themes of "Future Tech", "Innovation Pilot" and "Sustainability".

Embrace the era of innovation and intelligence with the help of big data

This year, the "Innovation Pilot" theme will demonstrate more than 100 innovative technologies and visualize the transition to the hyper digitization era. This theme consists of four topics: Hyper Automation, IoT, Multi Experience, and New Health. Each of the topics will be presented in different highlights such as the Defense Tech, the Disaster Management Solutions, Future Mobility, and Epidemic Prevention Tech.

Driving the Future of Smart Manufacturing with Hyper Automation

Industry 4.0 is a popular research topic in modern manufacturing industries. From new forms of manufacturing to the transformation of traditional manufacturing, the hyper automation section will look into advanced technologies that combine machine computing and AI techniques as well as future autonomous machines. The aim is to upgrade traditional industries with innovative technologies.

  • Highlights: AIWin’s Fabric AI-AOI
    AIWin has developed an AI-driven AOI system for the Taiwanese textile industry to help customers develop application solutions that can address their pain points. By combining AI software and deep learning technology, the system can achieve an optical resolution of 0.014 mm/pixels, a detection rate of more than 95%, and a speed of 25 meters/minute. It can identify all kinds of defects automatically. Unlike other AI technologies that require massive amounts of data, this system enables users to build AI models quickly to reduce human fatigue.
  • Highlights: Explosion-proof Robots
    Explosion-proof robots designed for bomb disposal experts are disruptor devices and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots for homemade bombs. The liquid disruptor device uses a small amount of explosives which gather the energy of water to fire a high-pressure jet of water to destroy the shells of the bombs or the firing chain, thus reducing the damage of explosion. A specially designed robotic arm which can track the operator’s movements is then used. The operator can move the gripper to a desired location easily through an intuitive control panel to remove bombs precisely or dismantle them with a liquid disruptor device.

Create New Business Opportunities by Connecting Digital Services with IoT

This is especially true in the world of IoT, which employs artificial neural networks to create extensively comprehensive communications and relationships between humans and devices. In the areas of digital governance, digital payment/Fintech, 5G, AI, IoT, and big data in the cloud, edge computing, fog computing, and cloud computing technologies have converted our life into digital data consisting of 1 and 0.

  • Highlights: 5G NR cells and core technology
    Driven by the rapid growth of 5G networks, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Institute for Information Industry (III) have developed a virtualized 5G-NR small cell composed of radio components, physical layers, L2/L3 software, and 5G core software. Compliant with the 3GPP 5G R15 standards, the system leverages the O-RAN architecture. These two organizations also work with Taiwanese server and network communications vendors to boost the global presence of the system. By controlling network virtualization technology and seizing the business opportunities of O-RAN ahead of, Taiwan can reduce reliance on foreign vendors’ technology while becoming a global export hub of 5G equipment.

Building Smart Life with Seamless Transition between Physical and Virtual Worlds

Virtual and real worlds are merging due to the rise of VR/AR applications. The rapid development of imaging and motion sensing technology allows us to gain more VR/AR experiences in smart applications including traffic, environments, homes, wearable devices, and education.

  • Highlights: Cycle Boxer
    Cycle Boxer is the world’s first fitness equipment combining cycling and boxing to improve physical and mental health as well as brain functions. The scientific and interactive punch pad can train brain reaction while enhancing memory, response abilities, and collaboration between the eye and hand. Punch signals are displayed in different colors and patterns and music is played during exercise to provide immersive experience.

Deploying Ahead with New Healthcare Technology

The comprehensive healthcare concept driven by the progress of pharmaceutical and biomedical technologies covers every aspect of life, from food to clothing, shelter, and transportation, as well as problems related to aging, illness, and death. Technology, services, and networks have been adopted to help people manage their health.

  • Highlights: Disposable Medical Coveralls
    To respond to COVID-19, Taiwan has produced state-of-the-art medical coveralls in addition to face masks. The coveralls manufactured by Makalot Industrial for front-line medical staff have passed multiple P3-level tests including sewn seam strength, tearing strength, moisture permeability, hydrostatic pressure, penetration of synthetic blood, and viral penetration. These coveralls are completely made in Taiwan, from materials to the final products.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary, KakaoPage has projected that it will reach 500 billion Korean Won in annual GMV this year. He also revealed that Piccoma, the Kakao Corp. subsidiary which services KakaoPage IPs in Japan, was ranked the No. 1 comic app in terms of both traffic and revenues in the Japanese market for the first time last month. With this achievement, KakaoPage and Piccoma have become No. 1 both in Korea, the birthplace of webtoons, and Japan, the homeland of manga. The annual GMV in these two countries alone is on track to soon surpass one trillion Korean Won.

Lee also unveiled KakaoPage’s next corporate vision as a global story entertainment company. It will utilize the Korean and Japanese markets as springboards to provide a global distribution platform for the world’s top storytellers to monetize their original stories. By securing hundreds of original stories proven on its global platform with adaptation potential into global movies, dramas and games, KakaoPage aims to become the most influential partner for global media entertainment companies and game developers.

To realize this vision, KakaoPage will continue to invest aggressively in order to expand its platform network beyond Korea and Japan into the U.S., China, and Southeast Asia by 2022. 

KakaoPage CEO Lee related, "I take great pride in the fact that KakaoPage globally pioneered the ‘Wait-or-Pay’ business model that has been the main driver of the explosive growth of the story entertainment market in Korea and Japan. I believe the next global blockbuster IPs such as the next Harry Potter or One Piece will originate from our webtoon platform and will gather global fandoms at an unprecedented pace and scale. Through this process, we can generate endless business opportunities with global media & entertainment partners. This is KakaoPage’s next vision for innovating story entertainment."
