Lazada, a major online shopping site in Southeast Asia that giant internet retailer Alibaba acquired, on Nov 9 established a major e-commerce project in Quanzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Quanzhou, a city in East China's Fujian province.

The project includes a business incubation base, a cross-border service center and a logistics distribution center.

It will help Quanzhou's cross-border e-commerce industry to further explore the Southeast Asian e-commerce market and optimize the local cross-border e-commerce ecosystem.

The business incubation base will integrate Lazada's cross-border e-commerce operations and e-commerce talent -- through cooperation with industrial belts and colleges -- and deploy them to local companies.

Combining a variety of service organizations, including training, agency operations and live broadcasts, the cross-border service center will create popular products, with the help of partners and big data.

The logistics distribution center, meanwhile, will set up logistics distribution warehouses to help local and surrounding businesses reduce costs and increase their efficiency.
