A new chapter in global trade collaboration

The PAA (formerly known as The Pan-Asian E-Commerce Alliance) is a pioneering global alliance that brings together key stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.

At the PAA Working Group and Steering Committee Meetings in Mumbai, India, on November 10–12, 2025, AEB was confirmed as the newest associate member of the alliance.

This development opens new avenues for collaboration, innovation, and influence, strengthening AEB’s role in shaping the future of digital trade.

Expanding horizons and expertise

As a recognized leader in software solutions for global trade, supply chain management, and logistics, AEB has always sought to collaborate with forward-thinking organizations that share our vision for a more connected and digitalized trade ecosystem.

As only the second member from Europe, AEB aims to contribute its expertise and European perspective to a network that has traditionally been focused on the Asia-Pacific region, thereby enriching the dialogue and expanding the alliance’s global reach.

Active participation and engagement

The alliance is known for its active engagement with international organizations such as the African Alliance on Electronic Commerce (AAEC), APEC Digital Economy Steering Group, ASEAN Digital Trade Connect, UNESCAP, and the World Customs Organization Private Sector Consultative Group (WCO PSCG). 

This broad network ensures that PAA members are at the forefront of shaping the future of digital trade on a global scale. 

Membership of the PAA allows AEB to:

  • Gain new insights on Asia-Pacific customs and global trade environment.
  • Participate in high-level working groups and steering committees, influencing the direction of digital trade standards.
  • Collaborate with leading organizations and authorities to develop interoperable solutions that benefit the entire trade ecosystem.
  • Stay ahead of regulatory and technological trends by engaging with global thought leaders and policymakers.
  • Enhance our own product offerings by integrating insights and best practices from a diverse, international network.
