IOTA Unveils Expert Advisory Board to Boost Trade Initiative Progress
Introducing the TWIN Expert Advisory Board
The IOTA Foundation is proud to announce the creation of its Expert Advisory board, a strategic move designed to infuse real-world trade, customs, and logistics expertise into the progress of TWIN (Trade Worldwide Information Network). This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing international trade thru a public digital infrastructure that aims for greater accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.
Harnessing Real-World Experience for Digital Innovation
TWIN’s development is spearheaded by IOTA as it lays down the technological groundwork necessary for a seamlessly connected global trade environment. However, technology alone cannot fulfill this aspiring vision. It requires the nuanced understanding and experience of seasoned professionals who are deeply familiar with the intricacies of trade processes,customs operations,and regulatory landscapes.
To this end, the newly formed IOTA Expert Advisory Board comprises distinguished industry veterans who will inject their firsthand knowledge into crafting TWIN. Their insights are especially focused on aligning with UK market dynamics but have broader implications for global standards. The board’s role is crucial in providing practical guidance that ensures TWIN not only meets technical specifications but also aligns with commercial realities and evolving market demands.
