Summary

One of the major challenges for European governments is to solve the dilemma of increasing the security of international trade, while at the same time reducing the administrative burden for commercial as well as public administration organisations. To address these conflicting demands, the ITAIDE project has developed a large set of innovative tools and methodologies, which have been integrated into the ITAIDE Information Infrastructure (I3) framework that enable companies to become in control of their business operations. This makes them well positioned to obtain a Trusted Trader status from the government, entitling them to trade facilitation benefits such as simplified customs procedures and fewer inspections of their goods. Hence, the I3 framework can contribute to making global supply chains faster, cheaper, and more secure. The I3 framework has been tested and validated in five real-life Living Labs, spanning four different sectors of industry, and conducted in five different EU countries.www.itaide.org
