Alibaba Cloud’s new initiatives will focus on working closely with businesses and partners to facilitate easier access to new innovations and further growing the developer community through continuous training and learning opportunities.

“Today we are in a very early stage of digitalization,” said Dr. Wang Jian, member of Chinese Engineering Academy and founder of Alibaba Cloud. “In the next five to ten years, the economy is going to be driven and measured by computing consumption. The cloud is becoming a methodology not just for cloud computing, but a methodology for most people doing their work.”

The new initiatives include Alibaba Cloud Product Innovation Center and Overseas Partner Management Center based in Singapore. It aims to accelerate the development of more market-specific Alibaba Cloud products and oversee the management of product upgrades based on ongoing global customer demands. The Overseas Partner Management Center, meanwhile, will help in deepening technology and domain expertise sharing among local collaborators to better serve local customers.
