This event is organized in collaboration between the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the Ministry of Economy of Georgia, the Permanent Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Commission of the Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Central Asia (PS IGC TRACECA) and other partners as a hybrid capacity-building seminar under the UN Development Account 14th tranche project “Enhanced capacities of selected countries in the ECE region for pandemic-resilient, sustainable cross-border trade and transport”.

Objectives

The objectives of this seminar will be to:

  1. Present to a specialized audience the concept of digitalization of multimodal data and document exchange along a cross-border supply chain (digital corridor), using the UN semantic standards and Multimodal Transport Reference Data Model (MMT RDM),
  2. Analyse the importance of harmonized digitalization of data and document exchange on cargo for improving the efficiency of trade and transport corridors,
  3. Highlight a best practice example in the implementation of the UN/CEFACT standards and MMT RDM – the implementation of EU’s Electronic Freight Transport Information and European Maritime Single Window Environment Regulations, which both use the UN/CEFACT standards for their implementation,
  4. Showcase the possible practical way to digitalize multimodal data and document exchange along a corridor through the experience of the UNECE – TRACECA pilot testing project,
  5. Analyse challenges and opportunities for pilot projects,
  6. Identify possibilities for capacity-building for local experts to work on multimodal digitalization using the UN/CEFACT standards and MMT RDM through a “learning-by-doing” approach while implementing pilot projects,
  7. Examine internal and external resources for advancing multimodal data and document exchange in the region.

The seminar will seek to:

  1. Identify business requirements for the digital transformation of concrete documents and sectors of the supply chain in the Trans-Caspian and other corridors,
  2. Discuss possibilities for digitalization of trade and transport documents accompanying goods (consignment notes, bills of lading, and additional documents) as part of the information flows on cargo along the corridors,
  3. Assess the availability of technical skills to implement the international standards for a harmonized digitalization of multimodal transport data and document exchange; raise awareness and capacity of the participants to roll out digitalization of data and document exchange aligned with the UN/CEFACT standards,
  4. Review best practices in implementing port community systems in the transition economies of the region and issue recommendations for standardization of data and document exchange.
  5. Review possibilities for practical implementation notably through interlinked pilot implementation projects. Present the concept of enabling digital platforms. Focus on turning port community systems along the Trans-Caspian Corridor into multimodal digital information exchange hubs or platforms,
  6. Discuss possibilities for concrete pilot testing of the digitalization of information exchange in collaboration with TRACECA, the Trans-Caspian Transport Route (TMTM) association, and other development partners. Discuss with development partners possible launch of new pilot projects.
