- Devoted to “Trade Facilitation through Digital Pathways,” this second day of the WCO Technology Conference 2026 in Abu Dhabi saw participants exploring practical developments in Single Window and other digital platforms, trusted digital ecosystems enabling the reuse of data across supply chains, and the role of technology in strengthening the sustainability agenda through data-driven approaches to more resilient and sustainable supply chains.
- The packed agenda on day 2 featured three plenary sessions with high-level panel discussions and some sixteen tech talks, where private sector companies explained their latest solutions to respond to challenges faced by Customs in their enforcement and facilitation missions.
