Ant Group, originating from Alipay (established in 2004), is a leading Chinese fintech conglomerate and technology provider focused on building an open, inclusive digital financial services ecosystem. Headquartered in Hangzhou, it provides digital payment (Alipay), credit, insurance, and wealth management services to consumers and SMEs globally, with a strong focus on AI and data technology.
Global digital productivity gains have not kept up with overall economic growth, partly due to the gaps in digitalization between large and smaller enterprises.
