supply chains, ensuring visibility into the sustainability

of traded goods.

The ‘Trade-Sustain-AI’ initiative will work with

international organizations, governments and industry

leaders to (among other things): produce

comprehensive reports to explore the convergence of

AI, global trade and sustainability; arrange annual

symposiums bringing together prominent AI,

sustainability and trade experts to exchange ideas,

knowledge and experiences; develop a global research

network on trade, climate and AI issues; and develop an

international alliance between ministers from key global

trading hubs that will work with leading CEOs to

propose future-proof regulation for the use of AI in

trade.

Based in the UAE, the program has already confirmed

several major partners, including ADIA Lab, Core42,

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence

(MBZUAI) and Maqta Gateway – AD Ports Group’s digital

arm. Additional partners are set to be included into the

initiative over time.

Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade
