TXF Germany was a one-of a kind event. Capped at 120 delegates, conducted in German over two days and focused entirely on German export finance, it was a sell-out, focused conference.

This workshop examines the size and scope of the private trade credit and political risk market by looking both at whole-market statistics and individual case studies of placements and claims. Including a close examination of how placements are made and of the claims process in the event of a default, force majeure, or other insured eventuality. How are claims assessed, and what is the application process like? How many claims are currently being paid and what does this tell us about the robustness of both the market and the process?

German exporters traditionally had a strong profile as EPC contractors, but many seemed to have stopped offering that service, allowing Chinese EPC contractors to fill the gap. Why has that happened, and are any German exporters looking into EPC contracting again? What does the German EPC contracting market look like in 2017, and what are current
contractors’ financing strategies? ![]() Jens Oliver Haupt

Why aren’t more Midcaps using export finance, and does it matter?An open discussion about the position of Mittelstand enterprises and export fina... Room 1 ![]() ![]()
An open discussion about the position of Mittelstand enterprises and export finance. Why so few of them using export finance – is it because they are unable to access it, or because they don’t feel the need for it? Do smaller companies understand the product fully, and is export finance well suited to their needs anyway? If it isn’t, then which products are best suiting the needs of this midmarket segment, and what reforms could be made to the ECA product?

An overview of current sanctions affecting German exports, with a particular focus on Iran: what does the snap back clause entail and what mechanisms are in place in the event of a snap back? Do any other ECAs have a snap back guarantee similar to that of EKN? Which other sanctions should exporters and financiers be aware of?
