Pre-Implementation Market Preparation
The second workshop for our Thailand project was held in February.
The workshop was organised by the CASTL as implementing partner of the ICC United Kingdom’s, C4DTI Legal Reform Technical Assistance Taskforce. It is the second in a series of a series of workshops on Digital Trade and the crucial role of Electronic Transferable Records (ETRs) in Thailand will provide a forum for dialogue between key stakeholders in the United Kingdom and Thailand, amongst other jurisdictions.
The second workshop was facilitated by the Project Lead and Director of CASTL, Dr Theodora Christou. Again participants from both the public and private sector in Thailand engaged in a dialogue as to what is required to prepare the market to go digital.
