On July 19, Alibaba founder and
chairman Ma Yun (Jack Ma) visited Nairobi, 38 fellow billionaires accompanied
Ma, who is also a UN special adviser on youth entrepreneurship. This the first
time he set foot on the land of Africa. He will attend the African summit in
Rwanda, which attracted 1,500 attendees. He spoke in Nailab, the technical
incubator in Nairobi, where he held talks with young entrepreneurs.
Ma shared his ideas and
experiences with the African entrepreneurs and explored opportunities to
participate in global trade. He believes
“ Alibaba's experience in China can be applied globally, giving all SMEs the
opportunity to participate and compete in a transparent and fair marketplace,
and the future economic globalization will allow consumers everywhere to access

Secretary-General said "He bring a visionary way of doing business, a
desire for learning, and a belief in creating a better environment for young

At
present, many Chinese goods through Alibaba this platform was exported to
Africa. Such as the African people are very fond of Chinese mobile phone, in
addition to good quality and good performance, there is an important reason,
the Chinese mobile phone beauty effect is good. Today,Huawei ,as the representative
of the Chinese mobile phone brand, has occupied half of the African mobile
phone market. When I was in Kampala Uganda last October (01 Oct 2016 to 13 Oct
2016) to attend the 24th International Agricultural Trade Fair in
Lugogo show grounds, Kampala, Uganda. I saw many Huawei shops on the way from
Entebbe airport to Kampala.
