PROGRESS数字贸易测试平台项目旨在通过跟踪货物的物理位置和运输并实现与国际数字贸易数据处理系统的互操作性，开发测试数字贸易系统物理保证的核心能力。真正的数字供应链管理系统需要在物理状态、货物位置和每一个的数字表示之间建立可靠的联系。此外，实物供应的地点、原产地和条件的实物保证是高效、可持续和符合ESG的供应链的关键要素。这个试验平台将使我们能够模拟货物的移动和处理，并期望在未来的集成数字环境中包括此类创新。该测试平台还将支持包括HMRC在内的合作伙伴的测试，以告知税收和未来的政策交付。为了创建一个可用的系统，PROGRESS将为硬件，软件和其他基础设施提供测试平台，这些基础设施将多个数据源映射为可操作的见解。进展将在受控环境中展示，因为在这个早期阶段几乎不可能在国际贸易路线上进行测试。因此，该联盟将在Teesside国际机场创建一个支持5G的数字贸易测试平台，该机场是Tees Valley Freeport的一部分。提赛德自由港是英国第一个运营和最大的自由港，包括机场和深水港。这种独特的产品将使PROGRESS能够为未来的功能和可扩展性建模运输用例。

The PROGRESS Digital Trade Testbed project aims to develop a core capability for testing the physical assurance of digital trade systems by tracking the physical location and transit of consignments and enabling interoperability with international digital trade data-handling systems.A truly digital supply chain management system requires reliable links between the physical state, the location of consignments and the digital representation of each. Besides, the physical assurance of location, origin, and condition of physical supplies is a critical element of efficient, sustainable, and ESG-compliant supply chains. This testbed will enable us to mimic the movement and treatment of goods in anticipation of including such innovation in integrated digital environments in the future. The testbed will also support testing by partners including HMRC to inform tax and future policy delivery. To create a usable system, PROGRESS will provide a testing ground for the hardware, software and other infrastructure that are required to map multiple data sources into actionable insights. PROGRESS will be demonstrated in a controlled environment because it is almost impossible to test across international trade routes at this early stage. Therefore, the consortium will create a 5G-enabled testbed for digital trade at Teesside International Airport, which is part of the wider Tees Valley Freeport. Teesside Freeport is Britain's first operational and largest Freeport, comprising an airport and deep seaport. This unique offering will allow PROGRESS to model transit use cases for future capabilities and scalability.
