TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox
Innovate, test, and transform the future of Trade Finance.
Overview
An innovative initiative aimed at transforming the future of international trade. By proposing, testing, and implementing new regulations, we enable TradeTech creators to develop sustainable, equitable, and efficient solutions without compromising security. Participants will test their innovations in a virtual sandbox under the supervision of a regulatory body from the United Arab Emirates.
At the end of the sandbox testing, new regulations will be announced during our next TradeTech Forum.
