At a time when geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruptions and increasing complexity are reshaping global trade, access to reliable data and analytics has never been more critical.

Global Business Gate has now joined the Virtual Watch Tower community – an initiative that combines shared shipping and transport data with advanced analytics to strengthen resilience, transparency and decision-making across global supply chains.

“Joining the Virtual Watch Tower community is an important step for us. The initiative demonstrates how shared shipping and transport data and data analytics, can strengthen resilience, transparency and decision-making across global supply chains. For Global Business Gate, this aligns perfectly with our ambition to be the arena where international trade, innovation and collaboration meet – enabling businesses to navigate an increasingly complex world with better foresight and stronger partnerships”, says Daniel Holmén, project manager Global Business Gate.

By engaging in initiatives such as Virtual Watch Tower, we continue to strengthen Global Business Gate’s position as a platform where digital innovation, international trade and collaboration meet – and where Gothenburg’s role in global trade flows evolves in step with a changing world.

“We are very pleased to welcome Global Business Gate into the Virtual Watch Tower community. Their role as an arena for international business and collaboration strengthens our shared ambition to build a more resilient, transparent and data-driven global supply chain ecosystem. Together, we accelerate innovation and collective capability to manage disruption and support sustainable trade”, says Mikael Lind, co-founder of the Virtual Watch Tower initiative, (Adjunct) Professor Maritime Informatics, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and Chalmers University of Technology.
