LogChain will relocate its global headquarters to the UK and establish a HQ and new base for innovation and scale in the Liverpool City Region, strengthening the UK–Southeast Asia digital trade corridor and scaling trusted, interoperable trade infrastructure across global markets.
The move reflects the company’s ambition to scale the practical infrastructure required for modern trade: multi-party digital workflows, trusted data exchange, and legally robust electronic documentation that reduces friction, strengthens resilience and improves compliance across global supply chains.
Leading Base for Trade Tech
The UK aims to become one of the world’s most credible environments for trade technology companies, combining deep capital markets and world-class professional services with a legal and regulatory direction-of-travel that enables innovation to scale responsibly.
Liverpool: An Engine Room Of Growth
Liverpool City Region was selected for its globally connected trade and logistics footprint, strong innovation credentials, and Freeport development. This positions the region as a practical ‘real economy’ testbed for scaling digital trade. The UK HQ and operational base will support LogChain’s work with governments, ports, financial institutions and industry partners, while strengthening links between UK capabilities and international trade corridors. 45 percent of trans-Atlantic trade goes through the Port of
Liverpool and is home to more than 6,500 digital and tech businesses. Its blend of trade infrastructure and innovation capacity (combined with the world’s greatest football team!) makes it one of the UK’s most important real-world testbeds for scaling next-generation supply chain and logistics solutions.
I’m really proud that LogChain has chosen the Liverpool City Region as its UK base. We’re a place that ‘gets’ trade, logistics and technology, and we’re serious about backing companies that are shaping the future of global commerce. Moves like this help bring good jobs to the region and strengthen our links with the rest of the world
said Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, UK.
Proof Point in Trade Digitalisation
LogChain is globally recognised as a leader in the burgeoning field of trade digitalisation, not ‘paper on PDFs’, but the transformation of cross-border trade processes through secure digital documentation, automated workflows and interoperable data. LogChain delivered the world’s first fully digitalised movement of goods, demonstrating that legal, operational and commercial barriers can be
overcome in live trade environments.
In 2026, trade digitalisation is more important than ever: geopolitics, supply chain disruption, compliance pressures and cyber risk have made trade resilience a national capability issue, not just an operational efficiency issue. Digital trade infrastructure underpins faster customs clearance, reduced fraud, better ESG traceability, and improved access for SMEs and emerging markets.
LogChain was built as infrastructure for digital trade, designed to support innovation while meeting the highest standards of security, trust and compliance. This expansion reflects our confidence in the UK as an environment where regulated innovation can scale responsibly. Liverpool City Region’s role in global trade, logistics and Freeport development closely aligns with how we think about building dependable systems that underpin international commerce. We see this move as a foundation for long-term collaboration
said Andie McKeown, Co-Founder and CEO of LogChain.
