International Centre for Trade Transparency

What International Centre for Trade Transparency does

International Centre for Trade Transparency (ICTTM) is a UK-incorporated, privately held SaaS company founded in 2022 that builds and operates ADAMftd, an AI-powered global trade-intelligence platform. The platform analyzes billions of verified customs declarations, shipping records, official registries, tariffs, sanctions lists, and entity relationships to deliver decision-grade intelligence for discovering buyers and suppliers, benchmarking competitors, determining landed costs, monitoring sanctions and restricted entities, and running compliance-grade analysis on companies and trade routes. ICTTM holds the technology through its wholly owned subsidiary ADAMftd Pte Ltd in Singapore, while the London entity (Companies House No. 14500902) serves as the registered operating company.

The company targets a horizontal set of use-case segments: exporters and importers, banks and financial institutions, logistics providers (customs brokers, shipping, warehousing), government agencies (customs, law enforcement, statistics, export and investment promotion), law firms, commodity traders, and retailers. A secondary go-to-market focuses on MSMEs via subsidized access through chamber partnerships. Revenue is generated through quote-based, annual subscription access to the ADAMftd platform, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

Distribution is hybrid: direct self-serve access at adamftd.com, supplemented by a channel model routed through the International Trade Council (ITC) umbrella and a stack of regional chamber and trade-association MOUs (notably in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, the UK-Asia corridor, and global women-SME networks). ICTTM's leadership includes Chairman The Hon. David Wells, CEO Giuseppe Funaro (appointed February 2026), Board Director Susan Robinson, Board Member Hon. Charles Mok, Ambassador Representative H.E. Sven Jurgenson, and Director Iain Evans (former Australian Minister of Trade). The company is early-stage: 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and a flagship product whose specific launch date is not disclosed but is described as live.
