Abstract

As far as the World Trade Organisation and World Economic Forum are concerned TradeTech is shorthand for the deployment of cutting-edge technologies to make transnational trade more manageable for traders without a massive resource base to address trade compliance issues. The use of the different technologies on offer, such as AI, blockchains, smart contracts, Big Data and the internet of things has long been in the trade spotlight. Technologies to ease trade compliance, such as TradeTech, can be facilitated by algorithmic law. This article will demonstrate why algorithmic law might be properly perceived as an optimal solution for trade regulatory compliance—whether for large or small enterprises. It goes on to look at the issue of the digitalisation of trade which is being framed by emerging trade policies by examining also the different interests impacting on the policy shaping exercise. Lastly, attention is paid to trade agreements and the increasing incorporation of digital trade rules and norms into trade agreements.
