Imagine it’s 2030 and follow along one what a journey might look like – crossing-borders and doing business across the globe. Our heroine, Helen, travels from New York to Singapore in a trip that is frictionless by design, fully centered on satisfying her human needs and desires for a more secure, faster and responsive journey. Her travels and cross-borders business operations are all optimized by data – from trust to truth – when she arrives in Singapore, border agents have near certainty that she and her goods are who and what she says they are. And finally, see how Helen traverses virtual frontiers, with the metaverse as a familiar destination. It’s all a possible vision for the future that borders agencies can work to make a reality.
