10/28/24, 4:33 PM UAE launches TradeTech Accelerator
leading a new era of trade innovation, using technology to break down barriers across

logistics, finance, and more. By working alongside corporates and regulators, they are
crucial in addressing today's most pressing trade challenges."

On partnering with the TradeTech Accelerator, Saeed Amidi, Founder & CEO at Plug and
Play, said: "We are excited to launch the TradeTech Accelerator Program in partnership

with the Ministry of Economy of the UAE, the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic

Development, and the World Economic Forum. This program will play a vital role in
supporting the growth of innovative startups shaping the future of trade and creating more

efficient, secure, and sustainable trade globally."

Since the launch of the Global TradeTech Initiative in Davos in 2023, the UAE has
continued to lead efforts to create a modern, digitally-enabled trading system. The launch

of the Accelerator follows the publication of the first TradeTech Report and the gathering of

the first TradeTech Forum, which was held alongside the 13th Ministerial Conference of the
World Tarde Organization in Abu Dhabi in February 2024.

The Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils 2024 is being hosted by the UAE. The

meeting features 30 thematic councils focused on future opportunities across five key
areas including technology and AI, climate and environment, governance, economy and

finance, and society. The event brings together a diverse group of leaders, thinkers, and

innovators from around the world to share their insights and visions for the future.
