(17^th October 2017) Sponsored by Australia Post and the Victorian State Government, RoyalPay was invited to attend the Alibaba E-Commerce Expo on the 13^th and 14^th of October.

The event played host to over 100 brands from Australia and New Zealand. Buyers and suppliers from the TaoBao community worked to connect Australian businesses to Chinese consumers both when they visit Australia and when they return home.

As an authorized licence partner of Alipay, RoyalPay helped to lift the profile of Alipay with Australian merchants and suppliers. This expo was held at an opportune time as Alipay have recently launched promotions to benefit merchants and their customers here in Australia.

This was the first Alibaba event held in Melbourne and was the first forum for Melbourne based businesses to meet and understand more about how RoyalPay/Alipay works.

At the event, RoyalPay built and fostered new and pre-existing connections with merchants. The first of hopefully many in Melbourne, the event opened the floor for deeper roots being set for Alipay in Australia.
