Here is our latest academic article ’Managing Supply and Value Chains in a New Era of Global Trade: The Promise of Federated Learning’. The article written together with Alan Bersin & Peter Swartz, published in the World Customs Journal (WCJ).

In the article we write about the future of border management as a federated value chain operation.

The World Customs Journal is one of the leading publications in our field. I recommend everybody interested in Customs & Trade to follow WCJ – a free, independent, scholarly peer-reviewed journal that focuses on all aspects of Customs and border management.

The article was published initially (March 2025) in the Homeland Security Paper Series at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
