Built for people, together.

A shared foundation for identity, evidence and participation in formal markets.

Communities, institutions and partners each have a role in building a practical path to formal participation.

How it works

People first. 

Progress follows.

A shared approach to participation. Built around identity, evidence, compliance and the people who use them.

Identity

Recognize people and organizations

TradePass is GTCX identity infrastructure designed to support people and organizations as they participate. It provides a foundation for credentials, while appropriate verification and review depend on the programme and local requirements.

Evidence

Connect evidence to place

GeoTag is designed to connect field evidence to a place. GCI provides a framework for assessing standing from evidence. Together they support the aim of making participation more visible and verifiable.

Compliance

Prepare for compliance

Compliance support can help communities understand requirements, organize records and work with qualified partners. The relevant steps depend on the activity, the jurisdiction and the services available.

Partners

Organize with trusted partners

Consortiums and associations bring people together around shared goals. Their governance, participants and next steps are shaped with the community and appropriate local partners, reflecting the context in which they work.
