As both sides gear up for the second ministerial meeting of the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) in Paris on 15-16 May, we have outlined three principles that should continue to guide the activities across all working groups: foster transparency and stakeholder engagement; outline roadmaps and clear deliverables; and prioritise outcomes with concrete impact.

Here's how to take the TTC to the next level.
