Event Review

We welcomed around 90 delegates to this excellent gathering of professionals keen to hear the latest news and views on trade services and innovations. There was a high number of corporate speakers, as well as IT firms, banks, the IFC, consultants, online trade finance systems and Swift.
 
What do technology and IT firms and supply chain systems have to offer to trade finance?
 
Where do Swift and Bolero fit into the overall picture?
 
Will electronic, paperless trade ever be cheap, efficient, easy to use and accessible to all?
 
How do corporates actually put paperless trade into action and how do they interact with their banks along the supply chain?
 
 
The experts debated all these issues at New York's leading trade services event of the year.
