Harbin, one of the key trade and economic centers of Northeast China, historically focused on cooperation with Russia, has become the next point of the business program of the AKTAWA team as part of the development of Russian-Chinese B2B cooperation.

The purpose of the visit was to study the applied digital tools used to support foreign trade operations, as well as to establish working contacts with platforms providing daily B2B trade between companies of the two countries.

Working meetings and familiarization with the Emaotun platform

During the visit, representatives of AKTAWA visited the office of the Emaotun trading and service platform, specializing in digital support of foreign trade operations and integrated business services.

During the working discussions, the following issues were considered:

• practical models of B2B trade organization,
• interaction with suppliers and buyers in cross-border transactions,
• using digital solutions to reduce costs and simplify operational procedures.

The dialogue was built around real business scenarios that companies face when entering foreign markets: from finding reliable counterparties to building sustainable trading processes.

Harbin as an entry point to the Northeast China market

Harbin traditionally occupies a special place in the system of trade and economic relations with Russia. The city combines a well-developed logistics infrastructure, exhibition and business venues, as well as service platforms focused on international trade.

For AKTAWA, Harbin is of interest as a regional hub that allows building direct contacts with companies already focused on cross-border cooperation and testing practical B2B interaction formats.

Results and prospects

Following the visit, the parties exchanged approaches to the development of digital B2B platforms, discussed possible formats of cooperation and confirmed their mutual interest in continuing the working dialogue.

AKTAWA continues its systematic work in China, consistently expanding its network of partner contacts and exploring tools that simplify and accelerate cross-border trade, making it more predictable and sustainable for businesses.
