International Trade provides many challenges. Because there are over 300 Digital Trade Gateways across the globe in the TRADE GATEWAYS network, including Trade Gateways for over 100 Major Ports Globally, the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme provides the ability to remove many of the challenges in a facilitated manner from one single point.

The parties utilizing a TRADE GATEWAYS Digital Trade Gateway for a transaction, agree an equivalence between control of an electronic transferrable record and possession of a transferrable paper document


IBM As A Partner In The Programme

IBM are a partner in the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme. This is significant for reasons as below.

The business case for modernising the digital trade ecosystem is overwhelming. The digital platform will be an important support for the efficient and orderly operation of the digital economy and of digital trade. The TRADE GATEWAYS Programme is providing an infrastructure that helps with the modernisation of the digital trade ecosystem.

However, the lack of a central point of leadership has resulted in the hampering of progress in paperless trade initiatives. The solution is for an organization to take a lead. As an Industry Leader, and a TRADE GATEWAYS Programme partner, the provision of IBM Digital Trade Services to participants in a programme as extensive as the Trade Gateways programme, can help provide relevant services across a Global Digital Trade Gateways Network that stimulates Digital Trade across a very extensive Network and helps pave the way for MLETR.

Additional Services Provided

Verified Digital Signature and Notification Services are provided.

Services are provided which facilitate the interoperability of electronic trade documents exchanged between different digital ecosystems. This is accomplished through the ability to trace the provenance of digitally issued documents as well as verify their integrity.

Services are provided, allowing for the Digital Transfer of ownership after Contractual stipulations have been met.

More Details below, as well as Details on the Supply-Chain.Network Implications For Trade.


Execution of Supply-Chain.Network Transactions

The TRADE GATEWAYS Programme helps users to access Buyers or Sellers through an applicable B2B Marketplace.

After concluding a transaction, registered users would then use a Local Digital Trade Gateway in the TRADE GATEWAYS Programme, to access a local infrastructure to execute agreed Transactions, in a faster and more secure manner.

Some of the Applicable Regional B2B Marketplaces and Trade Gateways in the Supply-Chain.Network Programme, are listed below.

Supply-Chain.Network Implications For Trade

The Supply-Chain.Network Programme facilitates the verification of Documents by committing identifiers to a Document Store smart contract on a public Blockchain, which serves as an immutable ledger. This signed file is then distributed to recipients, who can then verify the file

The Supply-Chain.Network Programme also facilitates ownership transfer of Digitally Traded Goods. This is also very important for the adoption of Digital Trade. The data flow is similar to in the Verifiable Documents, but instead of pointing a Document Store smart contract, a Token Registry smart contract is used. Since the signed file is globally uniquely identifying, the Token Registry provides a mapping of these identifiers to their owners (Using their Public Blockchain address). Each identifier can only be registered once, and can have only one address on the Public Blockchain.

The availability on a public blockchain facilitates the interoperability of electronic trade documents demonstrating ownership being exchanged between different digital ecosystems. This is very important for Digital Trade, and means goods can be easily digitally traded across and financed across borders. It also helps build a much needed network of networks across different platforms.

The pair detailed above, (Token Registry, Identifier), serves as a universally unique registry of ownership.
