Chinese firm Alibaba is offering to help international technology firms such as SAP to enter China, a market where foreign tech companies face increased government scrutiny.
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, said in a statement on Tuesday it aims to assist technology firms overcoming business obstacles in China. It said it’s offering foreign firms joint ventures and partnerships through its cloud computing programs.
The company said its AliLaunch program has signed up 11 partners including German software maker SAP, Hitachi Data Systems – a unit of Japanese industrial group Hitachi Ltd – and AppScale Systems Inc of the United States.
