The launch at the 2026 Global Business Gala highlights how AI-powered product discovery, supplier matching, negotiation support, and trade services can help buyers navigate the sourcing process.

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Made-in-China.com, a leading B2B platform connecting global buyers with Chinese suppliers, officially launched SourcingAI 3.0 at the 2026 Global Business Gala, held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, the venue of the 140th Canton Fair. The launch marks a new step in the development of SourcingAI as a Global Sourcing AI Partner, helping buyers navigate more stages of the sourcing process with AI.

The event brought together overseas buyers from more than 20 countries and regions with suppliers from Jiangsu Province, China. Organized by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Commerce, the event was hosted by Made-in-China.com, with support from the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Commerce. It enabled global buyers and Chinese suppliers to connect directly and explore potential business opportunities.

SourcingAI 3.0: Global Sourcing AI Partner

Since its introduction in 2024, SourcingAI has evolved through three stages: a Smart Search Engine in 2024, a Global Sourcing AI Assistant in 2025, and a Global Sourcing AI Partner in 2026.

SourcingAI 3.0 goes beyond adding new AI features to expand AI's role throughout the sourcing journey—from helping buyers discover product opportunities and make informed decisions to matching them with suitable suppliers, supporting communication and negotiations through an AI Negotiation Agent, and providing trade protection services that foster trust in cross-border transactions.

Four Capabilities for Smarter Sourcing

SourcingAI 3.0 is built around four core questions: Know What, Know Who, Know How, and Know Why. These four dimensions help buyers access key information, reduce uncertainty, and make better sourcing decisions.

1. Know What to Source: Discover Products with Market Potential

With Market Potential Analysis, SourcingAI 3.0 helps buyers move beyond simply finding products to discovering market opportunities. By identifying market trends, assessing potential demand, and considering product performance and risk insights, buyers can narrow down their options to those with stronger market potential and greater relevance to their business.

2. Know Who to Work With: Match Products with the Right Suppliers

SourcingAI 3.0 uses AI-assisted supplier matching and background checks to help buyers identify relevant suppliers and review available business information. By providing insights into supplier qualifications, production capabilities, and quality management, it helps buyers make more informed decisions when evaluating potential business partners.

3. Know How to Move Forward: Communicate, Negotiate, and Turn Decisions into Action

The AI Negotiation Agent helps buyers structure sourcing requirements, identify missing information, clarify key details, manage conversations with multiple suppliers, organize responses, and confirm shared understanding. These capabilities help move sourcing discussions forward while reducing repetitive communication.

4. Know Why You Can Trust: Verify Supplier Credibility and Trade with Protection

SourcingAI 3.0 connects AI-powered sourcing with practical transaction support, including supplier verification, Secured Trading Service, product quality inspection, and after-sales support for eligible orders, where applicable.

Extending Business Connections Beyond the Trade Fair

Built on Made-in-China.com, SourcingAI 3.0 brings AI into real-world B2B sourcing, drawing on the platform's product resources, supplier network, and trade service ecosystem. This combination helps buyers address these challenges while setting SourcingAI 3.0 apart from general-purpose AI tools.

As an AI partner purpose-built for B2B sourcing, it helps buyers turn AI-generated insights and recommendations into action, enabling them to identify market opportunities, connect with suppliers, and advance their sourcing projects with greater confidence.

From Business Connections to AI-Enabled Global Sourcing

The Global Business Gala creates valuable opportunities for buyers and suppliers to connect, but sourcing often involves many steps beyond the initial meeting. SourcingAI 3.0 is designed to support these day-to-day tasks, helping buyers move their sourcing projects forward more efficiently.

This ongoing support reflects Made-in-China.com's broader approach to global sourcing: combining AI capabilities with its global B2B resources and established trade service ecosystem. With SourcingAI 3.0, Made-in-China.com is extending the role of AI in global sourcing, connecting buyers with relevant suppliers and combining AI-powered efficiency with trusted trade services.
