Galexia has won a competitive tender for a groundbreaking two-year project that will streamline electronic commerce in South East Asian nations.

Galexia is partnering with global law firm Baker & McKenzie to develop and implement a harmonised legal infrastructure for electronic commerce in ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam).

The goal of the project is to assist ASEAN to integrate into one market for goods, services and investment by the establishment of a harmonised legal, regulatory and institutional environment for e-commerce. Additionally, there is an opportunity for some of the developing nations within ASEAN to ‘leap-frog’ paper based commerce and develop more efficient electronic transactions for cross-border trade. The project is the first of its kind to be conducted in the Asia Pacific region, and is second only to the European Union in its approach to legislatively facilitate borderless electronic transactions across a group of nations.
