Region of East Africa on Iota on supply chains for tea, technology and textile products
- IOTA technology as the basis is intended to optimize the trade in East Africa through shorter customs clearance and by cutting costs in all supply chains stations.
- In Kenya, developers and political decision-makers work together to develop a correspondingly tailor-made blockchain application.
East Africa Wirtd as quickly as possible decentralized technologies to improve its trading and supply chains systems. The IOTA Foundation was co-organizer of the East Africa Web3 Innovation Summit in Kenya’s capital Nairobi and presented innovations of trade logistics.
Important actors from the region, including developers and political decision-makers, came together to see how the blockchain applications of IOTA can reduce delays and costs. The event underlined The growing importance of Web3 for the efficiency of trade in the sectors such as tea, technology and textiles.
IOTA and WLIP: Digitization of trade in East Africa
The web3 innovation summit concentrated on the Trade Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP), a decentralized infrastructure for the rationalization of cross -border trade in the region. Moses Kemibaro from Dotsavvy explained Tlip as an open source system for the verifiable exchange of merchant data in real time. TLIP was developed and developed by the Iota Foundation and Trademark Africa eliminated Inefficiencies in the areas of customs, logistics and compliance.

Caroline Tabitha from the Kenyan tax authority said that digital tools such as TLIP modernize customs and compliance with the regulations. James Kagiri from Schenker-Logistics Kenya said that we need integrative digital trading platforms that meet the developing requirements for freight and logistics.
Edwin Wanyama Ngero von Kentrade spoke about the Kenyan Single Window System and its interoperability with WLIP. Njoki Muthuuri from Mamlaka Hub & Spoke said that interoperability bridges the gap in trust between the government and the private sector.
The panel participants reported that WLIP not only digitizes documents, but also the way in which the merchant data involved check and trust them. A pilot project enabled Kenyan exporters to transmit tested export documents to British customs in less than five minutes – a dramatic improvement compared to the previous weeks of delays.
Building innovative developer systems
The summit also offered a practical developer workshop with MOVEVM, the IOTA Smart Contract environment, as well as the latest developer tools and software development kits (SDKS).
Developers had the opportunity to work directly with the IOTA technology stack to develop decentralized applications that can support logistics, trade and sustainability in East Africa.
IOTA stood be at the event Business Innovation Grant Program before that startups and entrepreneurs encourage to expand the network. The participants learned about the upcoming Mena Moveathon Hackathon, which will further promote developer an activity in the region.
Tokenlabs.network commented on the active role that African innovators play in the development on the IOTA infrastructure, and referred to the contrast to the tech debates in Silicon Valley. The summit was presented as a room in which integrative, open framework works enable innovations by local developers and practitioners.
Global partnerships have an effect
The range of IOTA goes beyond East Africa; Several governments and organizations have adopted its technology. Peru has plans for Integration of IOTA in its digital government and smart city initiatives announced.
How CNF reportedthe Kenyan government has already started using Iota via the Tradet system and the Twin (Trade Worldwide Information Network). This is part of a more comprehensive project for digitization of customs procedures and export certification to reduce corruption and increase reliability.
In the United Kingdom, IOTA applications for monitoring the food supply chain and border security were tested as part of pilot projects financed by the Cabinet Office. These tests are related to the global agenda of the Twin Foundation to determine standards for the safe and transparent exchange of merchant data.
How CNF reportedwas the Twin Foundation in May at the AFCFTA Digital Trade Forum in Lusaka, Zambiafounded. She is supported by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Chartered Institute of Export and International Trade, Trademark Africa, the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation and Tony Blair for Global Change.
The foundation has the order to develop proven procedures and technical standards for world trade, with the focus on financial sustainability, open source government and supporting ecosystems.
This coalition will ensure that the Twin network works as a non-profit keeper of the central trade infrastructure in order to create a more integrative and efficient global trading system.
