1/25/24, 5:22 PM UAE tech initiative in WEF spotlight
Other components of the Trade Tech Global initiative include the Trade Tech Alliance, which will
bring leaders, CEOs and experts together to share best knowledge and identify constructive and
collaborative paths forward, and the TradeTech Forum, which will be held in the UAE in parallel with
the World Trade Organisation's 13th Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi in February 2024.

Dr Al Zeyoudi underscored the importance of harnessing the global community to make real
headway on these issues.

"The UAE believes digital transformation is the best tool to navigate global supply chains'
challenges, from access to operational efficiency. As a long-time advocate of trade tech's potential, I
know that fully realising its promise requires engaged and constructive partnerships between
innovators, implementors, users and regulators.

“We as governments have to be bold and proactive in building the physical and legal infrastructure
that technology needs to truly transform trade. We continue to make important strides forward and,
as chair of MC13, I look forward to furthering the integration of trade tech tools and eliminating the
roadblocks to their implementation.”
