The Alibaba Foundation jointly with UCWeb will
host the Global Forum of Alibaba Group’s XIN Philanthropy Conference 2018 in
India on September 5th. The Alibaba Foundation is a charitable organization
established by the Alibaba Group and the UCWeb is a business within Alibaba
Digital Media and Entertainment Group. UC WEB Inc. functions in India
through its step down subsidiary UCWeb Mobile Private Limited.
The Global Forum is being held under the theme of ‘Love and Infinity’ with
an emphasis on Education, Child Protection and Women Empowerment. Another
important issue of this event is to discuss on how the Internet could
empower global philanthropic endeavors in a creative and effective approach.
In 2016, Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, initiated the
Inaugural “Xin” Philanthropy Conference with an aim of molding a culture of
proactive public involvement in charity. In this conference, outstanding
speakers within the global welfare, politics, business and scientific domain
are invited to discuss and deliberate on Philanthropy for the Internet Age.
This year, the second Alibaba 9.5 Philanthropy Week Conference is being held
simultaneously at Hangzhou and for the first time overseas in New Delhi
signifying the importance of India for the Alibaba Group. The keynote
session will focus on the theme “Everyone participates for a Better Future”
and during the breakout sessions, discussions will be on the most important
philanthropic topics of our age, including Environmental Protection,
Internet Plus, Green Living, Globalization of Public Welfare, and Future of
Education.
