Background
TradeWaltz Inc. was established in the context of a study on commercialization conducted by the Trade Consortium, a group of major Japanese trade practitioners. The consortium was launched in 2017 by NTT DATA, a blockchain expert company, with a mission to apply its technology to the trade industry. After 3.5 years of technological development, proofs of concept, and legal reform, the consortium commercialized the technology.
Feature
The three strengths we have are (1) blockchain technology, (2) cross-industry networks and knowledge, and (3) government support, which no other competitor can match. The patented blockchain technology called BlockTrace is the only technology in the world that can completely digitalize trade information while taking into consideration the data governance of each country. In addition, three general trading companies, one of only eight in the world that handle all commodities and have contact with all countries and industries, have invested in the company and are publicly providing services that incorporate their networks and knowledge to the world with the support of the government.
