Born in the darkest days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Singapore Trade Data Exchange (SGTraDex) — a public-private initiative featuring some of the biggest names in shipping, finance and commodities — aims to plug data gaps in the supply chain ecosystem with its new data highway.
In an exclusive interview before the platform went live on 1 June, Antoine Cadoux, chief executive of operating company SGTraDex Services, told TradeWinds the platform expects to unlock more than $100m of value for 70 or so existing participants from three initial use cases by 2026.
