The partnership with LinkedIn brings together BTD's global trade data and LinkedIn's worldwide professional network.
BTD helps businesses gain insights into global markets, identify genuine buyers and potential customers, and uncover business relationships between companies. LinkedIn further enables businesses to identify procurement leaders and key decision-makers within their target organizations.
Together, the two platforms extend overseas customer development beyond identifying target companies to connecting directly with the key people behind them.

By bringing together trade records, supply chain relationships, company profiles, and business credit information, businesses can gain a more comprehensive understanding of potential partners and make more informed business decisions while managing partnership risks.
These two strategic partnerships also mark an important milestone in the joint development of BTD++, an end-to-end intelligent ecosystem for international trade built by BTD, LinkedIn, and Dun & Bradstreet.

BTD Chairman Shares Insights on the Future of International Trade in the AI Era Through Media Interviews
During the expo, BTD Chairman Li Jingze was invited to give interviews to several media outlets, including China Trade News, Phoenix.com, Global Finance Network, Labor Daily, and Changjiang Daily.
He shared his perspectives on the application of AI in international trade, the data needs of businesses expanding into global markets, and the future direction of the industry.
Speaking about the integration of AI and international trade, Chairman Li Jingze remarked:
"In the AI era, finding customers is not difficult. The real challenge is making reliable decisions based on trustworthy data."
In his view, most conventional customer acquisition tools for international trade address only one specific need: finding potential customers.
However, businesses seeking to expand internationally need much more than that. They need to understand target markets, customers' actual trade activities, upstream and downstream supply chain relationships, as well as the business credit profiles and key decision-makers behind those companies.
BTD aims to connect these critical elements through big data and AI technologies, enabling businesses not only to find potential customers, but also to understand them more deeply and make informed assessments.

How can data deliver real value and be transformed into practical capabilities that help businesses expand into international markets?
The CIIE may have come to a close, but BTD's journey of exploring global markets continues.
Looking ahead, BTD will continue to strengthen its expertise in foreign trade big data, expand its global data resources, deepen international partnerships, and advance the application of AI across international trade scenarios.
