What role will the blockchain and other digital innovations play in trade finance?
What can we expect from interests rates across Europe and in the USA?
How can you increase efficiency throughout your supply chain?
How do suppliers engage with supply chain finance programmes?
How can companies and banks protect themselves against cyberfraud in trade?
How can we make sure the Mittelstand is adequately served?
What are the latest developments in factoring and forfaiting?
…and much more.

Is Europe leading the way in a FinTech revolution, and how will that affect banks and other counterparties? Which digital innovations are having the most impact, and how are they affecting bank portfolios? How are corporates reacting? Where will new technologies – like the BlockChain – make the biggest difference? And what are the associated risks, as well as the opportunities – could the FinTech bubble be about to burst?

Will supply chain finance programmes and providers feel the regulatory pinch post Abengoa?
×
![]()
Abengoa's fall from grace was contributed to by its complex SCF programme, which arguably artificially extended its trade liabilities. Is this a one-off, or symptomatic of deeper problems within SCF? Will SCF programmes be subject to greater scrutiny from regulators and investors in the future? What other areas of risk within SCF should we be aware of?
