SPEAKERS
Founder of the B2B digital trading platform QIFA:
"Russia and China are actively promoting national digital economy projects, and trade is no exception. The governments of both countries not only support these trends, but also actively introduce digitalization and implement relevant state initiatives. However, we believe that the main factors behind the growth of e-commerce between Russia and China are the all-round development of trade and economic relations between the two countries. B2B is a part of the Russian Chinese trade turnover that responds to the domestic consumers’ demands, and the volume of mutual deliveries is constantly growing"
