🚢 TLIP: Transforming International Trade from East Africa to the World 🌍 Today at the IOTA East Africa Web3 Innovation Summit, we dove deep into the Trade Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP) — an ambitious digital infrastructure initiative designed to reshape cross-border trade from the ground up. Antony Magayu, Product Leader at the IOTA Foundation, unpacked how TLIP, powered by TWIN (Trade Worldwide Information Network), is already digitizing trade supply chains across East Africa — and driving measurable results. 🔍 Here’s what stood out: ✅ TLIP connects the full supply chain — from producers and processors to ports, customs, and consumers — enabling seamless document exchange directly from source systems. ✅ Trade digitalization must be:  • Accessible (for all stakeholders)  • Trusted (independently verifiable)  • Interoperable (between private & public systems) 📈 Real-world impact from Kenyan pilots: — Export documents now available to UK border agencies in 3–5 minutes, not weeks — 80% reduction in trade transaction costs — 96% faster cross-border transactions — 35% increase in SME participation 🔐 Through TLIP, all trade documents live in one secure place, enabling visibility, compliance, and cost savings — a massive shift from PDF-based email chains that dominate today's global trade. 📍 The mission is clear: Digitize cross-border trade in East Africa. And with projects like TLIP already in motion — the future is not five years away. It’s happening in real time. #IOTA #TLIP #TWIN #Web3 #TradeTech #EastAfrica #Kenya #Commerce #Africa #DigitalTrade #SupplyChain #Trade @TradeMarkAfrica @TLIP_io @TWINGlobalOrg @InstituteGC @KRACorporate @KenTrade_G2B – at Nairobi, Kenya
