Global supply chains

Commenting on the TradeTech Forum Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, minister of
state for foreign trade stated: “Technology has the potential to positively impact every
link in global supply chains, from automated customs checks to AI-directed inventory

management systems. It can also expand the reach of trade, enabling smaller nations
and SMEs to participate in the global trading system equitably and securely.”
For his part, Børge Brende, president of WEF, expressed the need to revitalize trade.
This includes the urgent need to understand and integrate new technologies. “MC13

and the TradeTech Forum give us the opportunity to build on the work done in Davos
to accelerate technology deployment. That can drive a trade recovery, and get us out
of the trap of ‘slowbalisation’,” he added.

The TradeTech Forum, aligned with MC13, offers a platform for engagement with
leading stakeholders from the public and private sectors. It will become an annual
meeting, fostering collaboration and shaping the future of global trade through
innovative TradeTech solutions.
