The event is expected to attract around 1,500 buyers and suppliers, from the Alibaba ecosystem and from across the Taobao community.

As part of the expo, Alibaba will showcase 75 selected SME brands from Australia – including fresh and processed foods and health supplements – that are set to sell their products on Alibaba’s global shopping site, thereby gaining access to the world’s largest consumer market.
