On January 10th, the Director of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) Cooperation and Development Promotion Center, Mr. Li Zhiming, led a research team to Shanghai. The purpose of the visit was to investigate and research the "International Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Digital Trade Service Base" project at the Shanghai office of the SME Cooperation and Development Promotion Center and the overall development of local small and medium-sized enterprises. During the research period, the team visited Shanghai Tentenso Information Technology Co., Ltd., a member of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Working Committee of the China International Chamber of Commerce.

Shanghai Tentenso Information Technology Co., Ltd. is a company primarily engaged in internet-related services. Its Tentenso.com internet search engine focuses on providing global business information retrieval services for both domestic and international enterprises. With AI translation capabilities in 133 languages, the search engine connects over 20 million businesses globally, spanning across 190 countries and regions. It aims to eliminate barriers in global trade such as information flow, customer engagement, and language communication, creating a smooth digital trade service channel for global small and medium-sized enterprises.

Director Li Zhiming emphasized during the research that the international industrial and supply chains are undergoing significant restructuring, and the rise of digitization and artificial intelligence brings both new opportunities and challenges for the healthy and sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Leveraging the mediating role of information technology to achieve broader information sharing and connectivity is crucial. Breaking down barriers and promoting cross-disciplinary, cross-regional, cross-national, and cross-language collaboration can unlock more possibilities for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The intelligent AI search, precise recommendations, and Product promotion features of the Tentenso internet search engine offer additional convenience and possibilities for trade communication and collaboration between domestic and international small and medium-sized enterprises. Members of the research team, including Deputy Secretary-General Cao Jusheng, Director of the Shanghai office Yi Xianfei, and Deputy Director of the Health Industry Service Office Yang Liu, participated in the research activities.
