KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

"The wine sector facing the challenge of digital transformation".

In the first part of the presentation, Beatriz Sanz will present from her global perspective the transforming power of digitization in different fields. In the second part, Beatriz Sanz and Emilio Restoy will discuss the case study of the FEV Digitalization and Wine Hub as an example of practical application and coordination between technology companies and Spanish wineries and an example of the direct application possibilities of digitalization in the wine sector.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

“Technology and data in the wine sector: a story of UK innovation in cross-border collaboration”.

In 2022, the UK Government launched the Trusted Pilot Project Ecosystem to reduce the complexity of exporting and importing wine to the UK.

Prior to this, the UK government had worked with a technology platform to create "RFIT" (Reduction of Friction in Trade) from 2018 to 2021,...where digital exports/imports of wine from as far away as Australia and the US were charted, clearly showing that digital was a way forward for exports and imports. The Trusted Ecosystem of pilot projects will assess technology, data and relationships between trusted wine exporters and importers to minimize administrative burdens and costs for merchants, which are ultimately passed on to the consumer. The model aims to create a more secure border, while limiting the need for government control activities at the border, and allowing traders to carry out more self-assessments at their premises. Ultimately, it could remove the transactional nature of customs/border processes. Chainvine has been working with the UK government and global partners to test Blockchain technology for transporting wine internationally, identifying all supply chain players and enabling them to share data in a clear and auditable way, using next-generation labeling. . Chainvine initially created "Smart Wine" to help all producers globally combat supply chain fraud, the platform used Blockchain as an audit tool to manage data across several different partners in the supply chain, allowing actors to maintain their own data and take responsibility for it. Academic research from the University of Surrey into these trials suggested that the movement of wine could benefit from a 50% reduction in compliance costs for those involved in the supply chain. These cost reductions extended through the elimination of paperwork in the supply chain and the time it takes to access and inspect paper documentation."
