International Centre for Trade Transparency (ICTTM) and Macedonian Chambers of Commerce (CCM) Forge a Monumental Agreement on 3rd August 2023

Skopje, North Macedonia - The International Centre for Trade Transparency (ICTTM) marked a historic occasion by sealing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Macedonian Chambers of Commerce (CCM) on the 3rd of August 2023. This initiative represents an ambitious leap towards reinforcing innovation, efficiency, and transparency in international trade, underscoring North Macedonia's rise as a vital nexus for trade within the Balkans and extending throughout Europe.

Operating as a non-governmental legal extension of the International Trade Council, the ICTTM focuses its mission on overcoming technical challenges in trade, enhancing supply chain integrity, boosting traceability, and amplifying transparency. Their commitment to "de-risking the supply chain" is unwavering.

Acknowledging North Macedonia's influential role in supply chains and its burgeoning stature as an economic dynamo in Europe, the ICTTM and CCM collaboration will capitalize on the country's strategic location, thriving economy, and talented workforce to pioneer a hub for international trade and supply chain operations. This includes the introduction of ICTTM's forthcoming ADAMftd (Advanced Data Analytics and Modeling for Foreign Trade Data) system.

The MOU outlines the ICTTM's plans to embark on a pilot project in North Macedonia, involving organizations identified by CCM, with the collective goal of promoting the ADAMftd platform upon its launch. Leveraging the first-mover advantage, CCM aspires to furnish North Macedonian companies with invaluable tools to catalyze international expansion and deliver indispensable global data, thereby propelling exporters into new markets.

ADAMftd, a sophisticated AI-driven platform under ICTTM's development, is engineered to exploit both historical and real-time trade data, regulations, tariffs, and other essential elements to decode global trade patterns and pinpoint supply chain vulnerabilities. Its capabilities extend to:

  • Sourcing new clients and suppliers
  • Charting supply chains
  • Evaluating risks linked with supply chain and partnerships
  • Forecasting global demand for tangible products


Complementing these capabilities, ADAMftd's predictive modeling feature is designed to cater to various stakeholders, including exporters, importers, financiers, insurers, logisticians, government authorities, hedge funds, traders, and any enterprise seeking transparent supply chain operations.

ICTTM's vision for redefining international commerce centers on empowering decision-makers with indispensable tools to navigate the multifaceted global market. This vision manifests in objectives like:

  • Swift, affordable, and efficient service provision
  • User-friendly information presentation
  • Cost reduction for market entrants
  • Leveling the corporate and governmental playing field


James York, CEO of the ICTTM, lauded this partnership, remarking, "The ascendance of North Macedonia as a key economic pillar in the Balkans is nothing short of inspiring. Aligning with a formidable ally like CCM transcends mere strategy; it's an homage to shared ambitions and principles. We eagerly anticipate amplifying this partnership, utilizing North Macedonia's strategic geography, economic prowess, and proficient workforce to sculpt a revolutionary hub for international trade and supply chain endeavors."

This synergistic collaboration between ICTTM and CCM encapsulates a dedication to growth and innovation, positioning North Macedonia at the cutting edge of the next global trade era. By integrating artificial intelligence and prioritizing North Macedonian investments, this partnership forges a pathway towards an enlightened future of international commerce.
