The event aims to explore private sector perspectives on trading goods in the digital era. Pandemic lockdowns compelled many businesses and organisations to move many of their functions online and to accelerate their digital transformations, including processes related to the movement of goods across borders and dealing with customs issues. The discussions will shed light on what has changed since the pandemic, what has or has not worked well, and what should happen so that we get where we aim to be.
