Dr. Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, said, "Technology can revolutionise global
supply chains at every stage, creating opportunities to expand international trade. It enables less developed

countries and small and medium-sized enterprises to participate more effectively and fairly in the global
trading system, while enhancing security and transparency.

"The TradeTech Forum is a key platform to advancing these benefits, convening global trade leaders to

explore leveraging technology to make supply chains smarter, more sustainable, and inclusive."

He added that as a nation at the forefront of technological innovation and global trade facilitation, this
platform exemplifies the country's commitment to fostering collaboration and harnessing digital

technologies to drive sustainable, inclusive growth in global trade.

Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, stated, "As a key

node on international supply chains and a global magnet for talents, businesses, investments, Abu Dhabi
continues to develop trade facilitation solutions, and employ advanced technologies and methods such as AI

and Blochian to enable free and fair trade and exchange of goods, services, and innovations. The TradeTech
forum in Abu Dhabi provides a suitable platform to discuss ideas, challenges, and explore opportunities,

devising innovative solutions that will shape the future of global trade."

The agenda for the forum packs many multi-disciplinary sessions, with the day starting off with the

TradeTech Face-Off, an engaging breakfast debate featuring two contrasting visions on the future of
TradeTech, where attendees will have to take a stance to what they believe the future of TradeTech holds.

This dialogue will expand to topics such as smart customs and how AI will revolutionise trade, a topic

explored in depth in the latest TradeTech report "Artificial Intelligence for Efficiency, Sustainability and
Inclusivity in TradeTech" just launched at the Annual Meeting at Davos.

Plenary panels will continue throughout the day, discussing key topics such as the outcomes of the 2025
TradeTech Report, the regulatory sandbox outcomes in trade finance, and the imperatives for investment in

trade innovation. A series of interactive workshops have been designed to create engaging deep-dives into
AI-driven transformations in supply chains, trade finance, and logistics.
