Voice of SMEs - Alibaba

Alibaba Business School is running a global competition to tap into the skillsets of younger entrepreneurs and business school students. They’ve announced the launch of Alibaba Global E-Commerce Talent (GET) Challenge 2020, aimed at helping businesses and organisations worldwide recover faster and rebound in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. They’ve also issued a challenge to students from across Malaysia who want to help businesses around the world and be rewarded for their ingenuity. 


We got in touch with Brian Wong, Vice President of Global Initiatives, Alibaba Group to weigh in on how they’re going to change the way students are taught business in schools moving forward.
