TradeLens selected to participate in UK Government’s ‘Ecosystem of Trust’ pilot program

TradeLens joins a select group of pilot participants to guide the development and adoption of innovative solutions intended to improve the flow of goods in the industry as part of the 2025 UK Border Strategy

As one of six consortia for the UK government’s Ecosystem of Trust pilots, TradeLens will play a vital role in validating, refining, and testing a new innovative model that will advance the way the UK border operates.

“We are proud to be among the collective effort of the participants helping drive digital advancements for the purpose of increasing the efficiency, speed, and safety of trade borders,” says Tomas Sproat, Global Head of Network at TradeLens. 

“Our contribution to the Ecosystem of Trust concept will be the platform's ability to seamlessly facilitate trade without jeopardizing security and ensuring immutable  trusted data between the buyer, seller, logistics intermediaries, and government.

TradeLens joins this initiative, providing customs authorities and other trade regulators with unparalleled visibility and improvement to their operational compliance, using digitized documents to expedite clearance processes on a secure network.
