Sourcing Success
Looking for a trustworthy reliable partner that will
take the hassle out of sourcing quality suppliers and products but don't have
too much time to spare?
The total sourcing solution offered by the Hong
Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) helps you find the right supplier easily
and effectively.
The TDC's three product promotion channels - international
trade fairs, product magazines and the www.tdctrade.com sourcing portal - are
seamlessly combined and tightly integrated to maximise efficient sourcing.
Before visiting any of the 30 TDC trade fairs held
in Hong Kong each year, you can:
- preview exhibits at www.tdctrade.com two months
in advance
- enjoy an online matching service to identify
the suppliers so you know exactly whom you need to meet during the fair
- prepare thoroughly by getting to know the fair
specials, product and exhibitor highlights and fair details from TDC product
magazines While at the fair, take the opportunity to drop by the Buyer's Lounge
and:
- tell us your specific sourcing needs so that
we can refer the right suppliers to you
- pick up a free product magazine
- relax and enjoy a free coffee while watching
a demonstration on the latest features of www.tdctrade.com
After the fair is over, you can continue sourcing
at www.tdctrade.com, which provides:
- free access to an extensive database with 100,000
reputable suppliers from Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and around the world,
including TDC trade fair exhibitors and product magazine advertisers
- supplier company profiles, product photos and
specifications, trading activity information, production capability details
and product and factory videos
- supplier references that enable you to identify
potential partners by referring to facts and figures provided by third-party
organisations such as Dun & Bradstreet business reports, PIERS' US import
data (number and value of shipments to the US), GO-Business' Hong Kong export
data (top three export countries/regions and top three export commodities),
China export data (top three export countries/regions and value of shipments)
supplied by Goodwill China and other supplier certifications
- a powerful search engine that lets buyers search
by key word, region, product category and company/brand names, or fine-tune
a search by suppliers' business nature and export market
- new product alerts for instant product updates
in your interested categories
- a Super Sourcing Minds program that not only
offers you the chance to win free trips to Hong Kong and earn fabulous prizes
such as a notebook computer, smartphone, iPod or Amazon coupon by making sourcing
