GTR Nordics 2019 | Global Trade Review | 14 November 2019 | Radisson Blu Waterfront, Nils Ericsons Plan 4, 111 64 Stockholm, Sweden

GTR Nordics 2019 will return to Stockholm on November 19. With an expected attendance of over 450 of the region’s top trade finance experts, insurers, bankers, ECAs, technology innovators, government bodies and corporates of all sizes.

With the Nordic business community maintaining its position at the forefront of global innovation, 2018’s gathering provided the ideal forum to discuss the latest trends and strategic developments across key trade sectors, and their impact on trade and export financing requirements. Insight was provided on the impact of growing global protectionism on trade and the innovative business models developing across key exports sectors, from Volvo’s provision of ‘Equipment as a Service’ to the importance of Turkish EPC contractor Yapi Merkezi’s financial offering when bidding for large infrastructure contracts. The digitisation of trade and trade finance was highlighted as a fundamental requirement for future development, posing a challenge to the trade finance market’s incumbents.

With preparations for the next GTR Nordics event already underway, ensure you join hundreds of your market peers in Stockholm in November 2019 to gain business-critical insight, create crucial contacts and get ahead of the game.
