TOTTA plans to approach this in an inclusive way with the collective vision of independent individuals with a wealth of experience. The larger team being mobilized will represent every segment of global trade by function, geography, size, and technology maturity.

​

The Guiding Principles of TOTTA as a Think Tank include:

• Independence and Integrity

• Openness and Objectivity

• Collaboration and Complementarity

• Inclusion and Innovation

 

TOTTA will act independently of specific technology platforms with no preference for application or framework. It will promote and advocate for uniformity industry-wide, by reaching out to shippers, logistic companies, importers, and exporters from MSME’s to large corporates and traders.

 

TOTTA is an independent Think Tank, collaborating with industry players and stakeholders, operating as a not-for-profit organization.  TOTTA will, through consultative knowledge sharing across global summits, discussion papers, white papers, technical tools, and how-to guides, enable participants in the supply chain (including MSMEs) to adapt their business digitally.

 

TOTTA will be a platform and a collective/community for world-class thought leaders across the globe, adding critical value through objective contribution to the movement to advance digital trade and trade financing. 

​

TOTTA will curate and make available, top-tier content, material, resources, and original thinking on a set of topics linked to international trade, including the physical, financial and data supply chains, with a view to enabling and facilitating global development, growth, and prosperity through digitization of trade. TOTTA intends to develop an open-source library with these resources that can be leveraged by end-users, consulting firms and technology companies.

 

Terms of reference including role definitions and rule book will be established, to lay the ground for long-term relevance and enduring thought leadership and impact.
