Smart Trade Corridors Program

Smart Trade Corridors Program

The Smart Trade Corridors Program transforms regional trade corridors to make cross-border logistics efficient through e-customs, blockchain, and digital platforms technologies. The development of infrastructure and digital connectivity increases connectivity in the region. Flagship initiatives such as the Iraqi Development Road reflect this vision, making the region a major trade hub between the Gulf and Europe.

Smart Trade Corridors: Digitizing Regional Trade for Global Connectivity

Smart Trade Corridors Programme seeks to reconstruct conventional trade corridors into digitally empowered supply chains. Through the use of technologies, the programme simplifies cross-border trade. Alongside, it minimizes delays and improves security and transparency in transactions. The major aim is to create an integrated digital trade ecosystem that interconnects regional hubs with world markets.

One of the core emphases of the program is infrastructure upgrading, more specifically in transportation and logistics. The $17 billion Iraqi Development Road is notable as a showcase project that connects Iraq to Türkiye by rail and road networks. The program encourages collaboration between governments, industries, and external partners to build an interconnected network of trade.
