Harnessing Data and Intelligence for Collective Advantage 2026

The Partnership shows that, when the right conditions for trust, shared value and leadership commitment are in place, collaboration on data can be both technically and institutionally feasible. By aligning incentives for collaboration, applying federated data infrastructure and agentic AI technologies and protecting privacy and sovereignty, the Partnership is beginning to turn fragmented information into shared intelligence. The POC in Thailand represents the first step towards realizing this vision, testing how secure data federation can operate in real world conditions and generate signals that inform prevention and enforcement. These early lessons can guide the refinement of governance, technical standards and collaboration models as the Partnership continues to evolve. In later phases, aggregated insights are expected to be made publicly available to support transparency, research and accountability, while maintaining confidentiality and national data sovereignty. Ultimately, the Partnership’s goal is not only to generate insight but to create a platform for coordinated action, enabling participants to identify systemic risks, strengthen remediation and track progress collaboratively across supply chains.2.6 Summary of the solution Harnessing Data and Intelligence for Collective Advantage: Ending Forced Labour in Global Supply Chains 19
