Tokenized Trade Infrastructure | Executive Training - Formation Exécutive

Executive training for tokenized trade infrastructure

Global trade is moving from digitised records towards tokenized rights and programmable execution. Electronic bills of lading, trusted cargo data and interoperable port systems can now be connected to tokenized receivables, financing instruments and settlement mechanisms, linking the movement of goods with the movement of money.

But tokenization is not the act of placing a document or container reference on a blockchain. It requires a precise answer to a more consequential question: what legal or economic claim is being tokenized, and what makes its digital lifecycle authoritative? Executives must determine how rights are created and transferred, who controls the record, which verified logistics events can trigger financing or settlement, and how legal, operational and cyber risks are governed.

Held in Le Havre, one of Europe’s major maritime and industrial gateways, this bilingual Intelligence Economy Institute executive training equips participants to move from a tokenization concept to a defensible implementation architecture.

Why now?

• France now has an operational legal framework for electronic transferable records, including electronic bills of lading.
• The European eFTI environment is moving freight information towards standardised, machine-readable exchange.
• Major ocean carriers have committed to full electronic bill-of-lading adoption by 2030.
• Trade-finance and tokenized-money initiatives increasingly depend on trustworthy links between documents, cargo events, identity and settlement.

What participants will learn

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• identify what can legitimately be tokenized: a document of title, receivable, inventory claim, payment obligation or environmental attribute;
• map the full chain linking a tokenized right, the underlying cargo, logistics events, financing and settlement;
• design the lifecycle of a tokenized trade claim, from issuance and control to transfer, financing, settlement, cancellation and exception handling;
• evaluate tokenization and programmable settlement against conventional alternatives rather than treating them as predetermined solutions;
• assess implementation options through legal finality, governance, identity, data quality, interoperability, cyber resilience and transition costs.

Training method

This is an applied executive learning session. The offer combines:

• a short pre-session tokenization-readiness diagnostic;
• an evidence-based IEI briefing;
• analysis of real port and trade-infrastructure processes;
• the IEI Tokenized Trade Infrastructure Canvas and implementation workbook;
• a reusable 90-day pilot-roadmap template;
• an IEI post-event executive brief;
• a 30-minute collective online debrief within two weeks of the training.

Who should attend

The training is designed for senior professionals working in:

• port authorities and terminal operations;
• shipping, freight forwarding and multimodal logistics;
• trade finance, transaction banking, insurance and working-capital finance;
• industrial exporting and supply-chain management;
• customs, public infrastructure and economic development;
• tokenization platforms, digital trade infrastructure, data systems and cybersecurity;
• legal, regulatory, standards and technology strategy.

No prior blockchain or coding knowledge is required.

Zakaryae Boudi - Chair, Intelligence Economy Institute

Zakaryae Boudi holds a PhD in Formal Methods and works at the intersection of market infrastructure, tokenization, international standards and programmable finance. His work focuses on how rights, economic terms, identity, data and settlement can be assembled into safe, interoperable and economically useful tokenized infrastructures.

Additional institutional and industry contributors may be announced subject to confirmation.

Language

The session will be delivered bilingually in English and French. Participants may ask questions and contribute in either language. Training materials will be provided in English, with key concepts and summaries available in French.
