Recent Progress
The Digital Transformation Working Group is working to develop an e-Commerce platform in IMT-GT in collaboration with the IMT-GT Business Council. This platform will serve as a channel for using technology/innovation to support SMEs and increase cross-border trade value in the subregion. The platform is expected to expand and develop into the IMT-GT Mall in the future. However, further consideration of the Business Model and additional discussions regarding international trade rules and logistics systems are still required to create a business ecosystem to support the application’s usage.
