Alibaba Group's mission is to make business easier than ever.

 

We aim to empower businesses to transform the way they market, sell and operate. We provide businesses, brands and other businesses with the basic Internet infrastructure and marketing platform to harness the power of the Internet to engage with their users and customers. Our businesses include core e-commerce, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, as well as innovative projects and other businesses. We are involved in the logistics and local services industry through our subsidiary, Cainiao Network, and our portfolio affiliates, Koubei, and have a strategic partnership with Ant Financial Services Group, which operates primarily through Alipay, China's leading third-party online payment platform.

 

 

Our vision

 

We aim to build the business ecosystem of the future. Our vision is for our customers to meet, work and live at Alibaba for at least 102 years.

 

Meet on Alibaba:

We facilitate hundreds of millions of business and social interactions every day, including between users and users, between consumers and merchants, and between businesses and enterprises.

 

Working at Alibaba:

We provide our customers with the business infrastructure and data technology they need to build their businesses, create value, and share the results with our other ecosystem participants.

 

Life in Alibaba:

We are committed to expanding our range of products and services to make Alibaba an important part of our customers' daily lives.

 

102 years:

Founded in 1999, Alibaba Group's continuous growth for at least 102 years means that we span three centuries and can compete with a handful of companies that have achieved so. Our culture, business model, and systems have stood the test of time and allowed us to continue to grow.

 

Alibaba Group was founded in 1999 in Hangzhou, China, by 18 people led by Jack Ma, a former English teacher. Our founders founded the company to serve the interests of small businesses, believing that the Internet can level the playing field, allow small businesses to expand their business through innovation and technology, and be better positioned to compete in the domestic or global market.
