Tradelink was honored to share as a panelist in the Hong Kong Shippers’ Council 50th Anniversary Shippers’ Forum, held at Hotel ICON under the theme “Unlocking Global Opportunities: Your Pathway to International Success” on 11 Sept 2026.
Our Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tommy Yuen, S.B.S., joined a distinguished panel of industry leaders to present “From Trusted-Trade-Data to Super-Value-Adder.” His address emphasised how Tradelink is pioneering the transformation of trusted-trade-data into multi-layered value, empowering SMEs to thrive in today’s global trade ecosystem.
Tommy explained that Trusted-Trade-Data consolidates digital identity, verified corporate credentials, transaction records, and regulatory attestations into a single trusted framework. Instead of repeated verification and redundant submissions, businesses can “trust once, reuse everywhere,” reducing friction and enabling seamless participation in international trade.
By leveraging this foundation, Tradelink positions itself as a Super-Value-Adder, helping SMEs to:
- Build trust – preventing fraud, ensuring authentic transactions, and verifying counterparties.
- Enable growth – opening frictionless market access through data driven business matching and verified credentials.
- Protect businesses – safeguarding digital identity, enforcing contracts, and strengthening resilience.
- Improve productivity – streamlining workflows with AI powered compliance and automation.
- Unlock capital – bridging directly to financial institutions for faster trade financing.
As a market-leading example, Tommy highlighted Tradelink’s T+ platform, which combines decades of government-rooted compliance authority with seamless connectivity to HKMA’s Commercial Data Interchange (CDI) and banking partners. T+ demonstrates measurable impact while paving the way for future innovations such as AI-powered trade intelligence and expanded global partner networks.
Tommy concluded that by acting as a Super-Value-Adder, Tradelink empowers SMEs not only to meet compliance requirements but to transform trusted-trade-data into growth, resilience, and global competitiveness.
Tradelink congratulates the Hong Kong Shippers’ Council on its 50th anniversary and remains committed to advancing digital trade facilitation, enabling SMEs to capture a bigger slice of global trade.
