Re-imagining the Future of Trade

Great ICC event in London yesterday, ’Re-imagining the Future of Trade’ at Clifford Chance with more than 400 registered participants.

Lord Karan Bilimoria of Chelsea delivered an inspirational Key Note Speech.

Chris Southworth moderated in an excellent way a panel where we had an dyanamic & constructive discussion about how to accelerate trade digitalization.

Great dialogue with superspeakers like Ayesha Ali Oswald Kuyler Vashti Maharaj & Rebecca Shepherd.

I made the points that:

🎯 We need to look at international trade not in silos but as a connected and interoperable ecosystem, where we instead of digitizing all paper documents from the legacy trade processes – use the datapipeline to foster intelligent data packages, trust badges, a digital passport for goods

🎯 We also need to evolve borders to digital smart border for more inclusive and fair smarter trade, maling it possible for all businesses, including MSMEs to grow, driving prosperity, and that…

🎯 Trade faciliation will release the values that will drive accelerated digitalization, as argued by the #TradeFacilitationCommission in a recent report, see below.

This execvelnt event was also the launch of the International Center for Digital Trade and Innovation (#iC4DTI) and the ’2024 Roadmap to Digitalise UK Trade’.

A most needed & timely initiative. Tale a look at the national roadmap – it is excellent. https://c4dti.uk/
