Paperless B2B Trader Collaboration Platform | $1.7T of Unmet Trade Finance Demand | CEO Represents Australia in International Organisations

“NeXTRADE’s mission, research, and services directly align with the World Customs Organisation (WCO) vision to modernise the core, connect digital and physical realities, and expand the horizon.

Achieving these requires identifying the main events that typically occur in an end-to-end cargo journey, recording this data once from the source, and reusing source data to enable border agencies and businesses to obtain a transparent and real-time view of goods journeys. We are creating ‘digital twins’ as a virtual representation of the physical to monitor or simulate processes.

Join us in our journey of identifying collaboration and data sharing opportunities across ecosystems.”

Ian Watt, CEO, NeXTRADE World
