The Alliance welcomes Altana, the network for trusted trade, to its growing network of Global Business Partners.
Altana’s AI-powered network empowers governments and businesses to build a more resilient and secure global economy while keeping trade flowing. Its platform provides a system of record for products and their value chains, illuminating, tracing, and managing the extended network that goes into the production of goods—all the way to raw materials. Businesses connect to Altana to automate and navigate global trade and tariff complexity, and to build supply chain resilience. Government agencies utilise Altana to design and enforce trade and economic security policies.
“Our mission is to fix globalisation,” said Evan Smith, CEO at Altana. “By joining the Alliance, we see strong opportunities to support smarter, data-driven trade facilitation reforms that have global impact.”
As a Global Business Partner, Altana brings expertise in the responsible use of artificial intelligence, trade modernisation, including customs compliance and enforcement, representing a welcome addition to the Alliance’s network at a critical moment for international trade.
The partnership reflects a shared belief that transparent, efficient, and well-governed trade systems are a key driver of economic growth. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, Altana and the Alliance will work together to promote best practices in the digitalisation of trade, with a particular focus on reducing trade costs and barriers in developing and least developed countries.
Global Business Partners assist the Alliance by opening doors, contributing technical expertise, identifying bottlenecks in supply chains, and amplifying the benefits of public-private collaboration in peer and policy forums.
“Welcoming partners such as Altana, who are at the frontier of next-generation trade, reflects the Alliance’s commitment to sustain an agile and innovative approach to trade facilitation. We look forward to working with Altana to apply AI-driven insights to practical solutions.” said Alliance Director Philippe Isler.
