Nippon Export and Investment Insurance
TradeWaltz Inc.

　TradeWaltz Inc(hereinafter, “TradeWaltz”) , operator of the TradeWaltz™ trade information collaboration platform, and Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (hereinafter, “NEXI”) have started collaboration on partner services.
　We are pleased to announce the addition of information on country risk provided by NEXI such as “Country Category and Underwriting Policy” and “Country Review”, as TradeWaltz partner services.

■Responding to Country Risk in an Uncertain Global Situation
　Recently, rapid changes caused by Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the spread of the COVID-19 have a tremendous impact on the trading industry, including supply chain disruptions and dramatic changes in each country’s demand.
　Preparing for “country risk” in advance, which causes a loss to companies due to changes in political, economic, or social conditions in a particular country or region, has become a major issue for companies expanding overseas.

■Country Risk Analysis for Overseas Expansion
　TradeWaltz and NEXI will work together to resolve these issues and concerns. The collaboration includes the addition of two services provided by NEXI as TradeWaltz partner services.

　The collaboration between NEXI, a traditional and stable coverage provider, and TradeWaltz, a company that promotes the digitalization of cross-industry trade operations communication, will expand the possibilities of overseas transactions and contribute to the improvement of safety in the trade industry.
