Our Contribution

The Centre for Trade Excellence works at the intersection of trade, regulation, and international security. We support governments, businesses, and institutions in strengthening their capabilities to govern sensitive trade responsibly and effectively.

Through global and regional partnerships, we:
  • Translate international frameworks such as UNSCR 1540, and international best practices into actionable national strategies
  • Develop policy guidance and technical tools to support export controls, licensing, and sanctions enforcement
  • Facilitate cross-sector dialogue on non-proliferation, supply chain integrity, and compliant innovation
  • Build communities of practice for trade security professionals operating across jurisdictions and industries
Our work is grounded in a simple principle: strategic trade controls are not a barrier to growth—they are a foundation for trusted, ethical, and future-ready commerce.
