About the Partnership

In Japan, as the Internet has become an everyday platform for business, more and more companies find themselves looking abroad for business development, product procurement and other activities. At the same time, in the ecommerce market we are seeing major Japanese and Chinese ecommerce websites forming partnerships, shipping companies expanding their services to offer both international and domestic delivery, and global ecommerce infrastructure growing. However many businesses in Japan are concerned about overcoming the language barrier to actively participating in global markets.

Under the new partnership Alibaba Marketing will add Fast Translation by GMO to its GLOBAL DESK lineup of international business support services. (English-Japanese, Japanese-English translation) GLOBAL DESK will provide translation services alongside information on the global market environment and international trends as well as international business and trading consultation services.
