Electronic Commerce

Global e-commerce sales grew 13% in 2017, hitting an estimated $29 trillion, according to the latest numbers released by UNCTAD in 2019.

WTPF through its global network of Trade Points and eTrade Desks promotes and facilitates the participation of SMEs in cross border e-commerce providing a comprehensive ecosystem of tools.

Digital Economy

According to the World Economic Forum, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is rapidly driving transformational disruption across every sector. By 2022, over 60% of global GDP will be digitized.

We work daily for companies, institutions and municipal governments to incorporate digital technology to all activities and services that have an impact on trade facilitation, business and companies development.

Trade in Services

According to the most recent 2019 World Trade Report by WTO, services have become the most dynamic sector of world trade and it is playing a big role in the global economy. From logistics to finance to informatics to business services to entertainment, services attract two-thirds of foreign direct investment and provide almost two-thirds of jobs in developing countries.

WTPF is part of the Global Trade in Services Vision Committee from the Government of Beijing, China and International partners of the China Trade in Services Fair (CIFTIS).

Creative Industry

The creative industries cover publishing, film, television, radio, phonographic, mobile content, independent audiovisual production, web content, electronic games and content produced for digital convergence (cross-media) and are among the most dynamic sectors in international trade.

WTPF works closely with international organizations in Geneva to promote the development and trade of creative industries as new sources of innovation and competitiveness through creativity, individual talent and skill.

Cultural Trade

With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, culture is globally recognized as a facilitator and contributor to sustainable development.

In the world of digitization, dematerialization has impacted some cultural goods, and some such as music, films, and books are now electronically accessible and marketed much less as physical products.

WTPF and its members are committed to supporting small art companies to take advantage of this new world of opportunity.

Anti Illicit Trade

According to the World Economic Forum, the value of illicit trade is close to $3 trillion, equivalent to 10% of world trade and between 8% and 15% of world GDP. Affected sectors include agri-food, alcohol, fisheries, forestry, oil, pharmaceuticals, precious metals and precious stones, pesticides, tobacco and wildlife, as well as human trafficking and counterfeiting and piracy. In cooperation with the Swiss OISTE Foundation, we organized international workshops and forums with strategic partners, national and international, to raise awareness about the effects of illicit trade and how technology can use the decentralized blockchain ledger and new technologies to combat this.
