UK Business Trade Partners with Altana for Supply Chain Map

The UK Government's Department for Business & Trade (DBT) has embarked on an expansive initiative with Altana under the Global Supply Chain Intelligence Programme (GSCIP), significantly enhancing the UK's capability to derive policy insights and operational strategies. Through a multi-year contract, Altana's AI platform will serve as the foundation for the GSCIP data model, amalgamating government and private sector data through extensive big data analytics within a secure government cloud infrastructure.

Altana's provision of the dynamic, intelligent Altana Atlas empowers participating departments to proactively address supply chain challenges, enabling swift policy recommendations and program development based on real-time supply chain dynamics. Altana's AI-powered platform has substantially expedited supply chain inquiries, minimizing the time for data dissemination and actionable insights.

Evan Smith, CEO and co-founder of Altana, lauds the UK GSCIP as a visionary endeavor fostering supply chain resilience and leveraging Altana's platform to unlock economic security and business resilience across critical UK industries. The collaboration facilitates a common operating picture of the global supply chain, enabling comprehensive risk management and streamlined decision-making.

DBT's partnership with Altana within the GSCIP leverages the latter's federated learning platform, Altana Atlas, overcoming data sovereignty and privacy challenges to provide unprecedented visibility across the supply chain. Altana's suite of tools has not only reduced operational costs but also furnished verifiable insights crucial for informing public policy and strategic planning.

As DBT expands Altana's adoption across the UK Government, facilitated by the Altana Atlas, the nation's supply chain resilience and interoperability are poised for significant enhancement. Altana's AI technology continues to revolutionize supply chain management, fostering a more resilient, secure, and sustainable global commerce landscape
