Ausmate Group proposed a concept for a global international project and supply chain alliance as well as regional alliance layout, reaching an agreement with Ausmate's global branches to establish official channels for multilateral trade and industry. Alongside the main session exchanges, one-on-one meetings for Ausmate members and strategic partners were also arranged, delving into cooperation on new energy, used cars, tourism exchange projects, overseas warehouse construction, brand promotion, and import-export trade cooperation. Particularly for Guizhou and Guangxi's specialty industries, the meeting laid a solid foundation for their debut in overseas markets and finding partners.

Many participating companies commented, "Such online meetings are not only efficient and concise but also practical for businesses. It allows us to understand overseas demands right from our doorstep, which is truly effective and convenient for enhancing business development and taking our brands international."
