U-THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE
OUR INITIATIVE
GCEL’s initiative is to deploy a global economic development program in partnership with leading public and private sector organizations, using innovative 21st-century technologies to drive sustainable global and regional growth aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At its core, the initiative seeks to revitalize the global Real Economy—the industries that produce the goods and services that support everyday life. Particular emphasis is placed on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which generate up to 80% of employment worldwide and remain a cornerstone of economic prosperity.
Comparable in significance to the introduction of electricity, telephony, microcomputers, and the internet, this initiative will connect the world through the Digital Economy Platform (DEP), enabling greater commerce, knowledge exchange, and shared prosperity.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
GCEL’s objective is to provide the roadmap, tools, and global consensus required to accelerate sustainable economic growth through the DEP. By strengthening the Real Economy and enhancing global value chains, the initiative aims to create a more inclusive, efficient, and connected system of commerce that benefits both developed and developing nations.
The Program Highlights demonstrate how this initiative can support long-term prosperity, economic stability, and shared well-being for current and future generations.
THE HUMAWEALTH BENCHMARK TRADE LANE PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
The 18-month HumaWealth Benchmark Trade Lane (BTL) Program is a flagship Public/Private Partnership initiative designed to demonstrate how the Multi-Dimensional Digital Economy Application System (MD-DEAS®) can address inefficiencies in global commerce and support a more integrated, efficient, and inclusive Digital Economy.
Four Benchmark Trade Lanes (BTLs) will be deployed across the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East/Africa, involving real transactions and participants from every major component of global commerce, including :
– Sellers and Buyers
– Logistics Providers
– Financial And Insurance Institutions
– Ports, Customs, and Regulatory Authorities
Together, these stakeholders will operate within a live digital ecosystem covering the complete movement of goods across global value chains.
OBJECTIVES AND IMPLEMENTATION
Through the BTL Program, GCEL and its partners will:
– Deploy MD-DEAS® tools to demonstrate measurable efficiency gains, lower costs, and reduced commercial risk.
– Showcase the benefits of digital integration, transparency, and real-time collaboration.
– Promote MD-DEAS® as a strategic solution for sustainable economic growth and competitiveness.
– Accelerate global adoption through awareness programs engaging governments, industry, and civil society.
Each BTL will generate real-time data, performance metrics, and practical insights to support large-scale deployment worldwide.
GLOBAL AND REGIONAL IMPACT
The Benchmark Trade Lanes will support regional economic development and complement initiatives led by international organizations and regional blocs.
Their economic impact and policy alignment are documented in the G20 Nations Case Study and GCEL’s regional economic roadmaps developed with the League of Arab States, the African Union, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC), and the Association of Development Finance Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP).
These roadmaps demonstrate how MD-DEAS® can help regions achieve sustainable development, employment growth, and greater competitiveness through digital transformation.
COMMITMENT AND LEADERSHIP
All G20 nations have taken an initial step toward the Digital Economy through participation in the G20 Nations Case Study. Building on this foundation, several countries have expressed formal and informal commitments to lead their respective Benchmark Trade Lanes.
These commitments focus on reducing commerce costs, increasing efficiency and competitiveness, expanding market access, and creating millions of new jobs.
Through these efforts, the HumaWealth BTL Program will demonstrate how Digital Soft Infrastructure powered by MD-DEAS® can enable a new era of sustainable, inclusive, and technology-driven prosperity.
HUMAWEALTH PROGRAM BENEFITS IN BRIEF
Today, domestic and international commerce costs in Mid- and Low-Income Countries (MICs and LICs) are two to three times higher than in High-Income Countries (HICs).
The Multi-Dimensional Digital Economy Application System (MDDEAS®) provides the digital tools needed to reduce these costs, enabling Real Economy participants to access new markets and compete more effectively. By digitizing global value chains, MDDEAS® improves efficiency, transparency, access to finance and insurance, and attracts greater foreign direct investment (FDI).
These benefits increase commercial activity, strengthen purchasing power in emerging economies, and create new opportunities for high-value industries. The result is a more balanced, inclusive, and sustainable global economy.
By 2035, the HumaWealth Program is expected to deliver:
– Lower commerce costs worldwide, particularly in emerging markets.
– Increased foreign direct investment (FDI).
– Greater access to finance and insurance for SMEs and Real Economy participants.
– Stronger and more efficient global value chains.
– Expanded opportunities for high-value industries.
– Sustainable economic growth benefiting all nations.
In essence, the HumaWealth Program transforms today’s fragmented economy into an integrated digital ecosystem that promotes prosperity, inclusion, and long-term stability.
TRANSFORMING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Powered by the Digital Economy Platform (MDDEAS®), the HumaWealth Program is projected to increase global GDP by 17%, create nearly 500 million new jobs, and generate a USD 25 trillion digital services industry by 2037—more than ten times the combined value of today’s global oil and gold production.
By reducing risks and inefficiencies across global commerce, MDDEAS® delivers greater efficiency, transparency, and trust throughout the value chain, enabling nations to compete fairly, grow sustainably, and share in global prosperity.
