A world first centre dedicated to accelerating the digitalisation of international trade is to be set up in the North East.
The Centre for Digital Trade and Innovation will be based in the Tees Valley and follows a number of significant public and private organisations to establish a presence in the region, including the Treasury and the Department for International Trade.
The centre – which will be coordinated by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and supported by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority – has been set up in response to the Government’s ambition for the UK to have an open trading system with the rest of the world.
