Together with the Smart Economy Networks initiative, the ICC-UK's Centre for Digital Trade and Innovation have created a Community Interest Company (CIC) to promote the creation of an international super-standard and protocol to increase the efficiency of international trade by using the latest digital payments innovations. 

This was launched with an opening event at Clifford Chance on 5 December 2024 titled "Re-imagining the Future of Trade"

This is one of the key initiatives of the 695th Lord Mayor of the City of London Corporation, Professor Michael Mainelli.

A deeply considered report from March 2024, “From Fintech To Ubiquitech: Accelerating the wider UK digital economy“, by a working group led by Dr Ruth Wandhöfer, sets out a starting programme.
