Strategic Partnerships

Partnerships are important to us and help implement and amplify our work.

Our Strategic Partners

    Our first project was working with the authorities of Thailand (specifically our partner ETDA) and was funded by the FCDO. You can find out more in our news section about the workshops and can download the report here.

  • European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

    The CASTL was engaged by the EBRD to prepare a Blueprint Paper on the value of digitalising trade and the key common building blocks needed for digital trade to thrive.

    Digitalisation of the trade ecosystem will bring economic benefits, environmental benefits, and increase inclusion – it is an example of applied sustainable transition.

    Following the launch of the report, the CASTL continues to work closely with the EBRD on related matters.
