Alibaba’s workplace collaboration app DingTalk officially launched in Hong Kong on November 28, marking a key step in its global expansion strategy. DingTalk will establish a dedicated service team in Hong Kong to better address local customer needs and develop a localized ecosystem, the company said last Thursday. The app offers features such as real-time translation in over 20 languages and compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. The app, now a separate business unit of Alibaba, recorded an annual recurring revenue exceeding $200 million in the first half of Alibaba’s fiscal 2025. DingTalk had 700 million users by the end of 2023.
