SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA and NEW YORK, NY, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Btab Ecommerce Group, Inc. (OTC: BBTT) (“Btab” or the “Company”), a global ecommerce and technology company, today announced the expansion of its work with international manufacturers seeking greater access to the U.S. market through Btab’s business network, commerce platforms and AI capabilities. 

This work connects manufacturers with U.S. retailers, resellers, entrepreneurs and other business buyers while giving American small businesses access to a broader range of products and international suppliers. 

Many manufacturers offer competitive products but face significant barriers when entering the United States, including limited market visibility, fragmented sales channels, high customer acquisition costs and difficulty identifying suitable business buyers. At the same time, small businesses often struggle to find dependable suppliers, competitive products and the technology needed to compete effectively. 

Btab aims to close that gap by building a technology enabled pathway between global manufacturers and U.S. business demand. Through its commerce ecosystem, Btab helps participating manufacturers present their products, identify relevant market opportunities and connect with potential business customers and commerce partners. 

Btab applies its AI commerce capabilities to support product discovery, market matching, pricing intelligence, marketing content and customer engagement. These capabilities help manufacturers understand U.S. market opportunities while enabling businesses to find products and suppliers suited to their needs. 

Participating manufacturers may gain access to platform capabilities and business support tools, including product listing functionality, buyer discovery features, market insights and communication tools designed to facilitate commercial engagement within the Btab ecosystem. 

Btab identifies manufacturers with products suited to the U.S. market and connects them with relevant businesses across the Btab network. Products and manufacturers are evaluated based on quality, commercial potential, supply capacity and suitability for U.S. customers. 

“The United States represents a significant opportunity for manufacturers around the world, but entering the market can be difficult and expensive,” said Binson Lau, Chief Executive Officer of Btab. “By combining our international business network with our AI commerce capabilities, Btab helps manufacturers identify opportunities, connect with relevant buyers and enter the U.S. market more efficiently. At the same time, we can give small businesses greater access to products and suppliers that may previously have been out of reach.” 

This effort builds on Btab’s broader strategy to connect manufacturers, suppliers, resellers, entrepreneurs and consumers through a scalable global commerce ecosystem. It also supports the Company’s long term corporate purpose: Empower Entrepreneurs. Create Jobs. Strengthen Families. 

Btab expects to broaden its reach progressively through additional manufacturer relationships, product categories, commerce partners and technology capabilities.
