Rebuilding Trust, Driving Innovation: The Future of Supply Chain Finance in a Fragmented World

Join global leaders in trade, finance, policy, and technology at the ICC Academy’s flagship Supply Chain Finance Summit. This two-day event will bring together experts and decision-makers to explore how the SCF ecosystem is evolving in the face of rising geopolitical tensions, digital disruption, and demands for greater sustainability and transparency.

Through thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions, and candid fireside chats, the summit will address some of the most pressing questions in global trade and finance:

  • How can we rebuild trust and ensure compliance across increasingly complex supply chains?
  • What does the future of liquidity look like in a world of rising interest rates and credit tightening?
  • How are technologies like blockchain, AI, and digital documentation reshaping efficiency and risk models?
  • What skills, strategies, and leadership will define the next generation of trade finance professionals?
  • Can DeFi coexist—or even lead—the next evolution of SCF?

This year’s programme features senior voices from global banks, fintechs, corporates, academia, regulators, and international institutions, offering a unique cross-sector perspective.

Whether you’re a banker, corporate treasurer, policymaker, fintech innovator, or trade professional, the SCF Summit is your opportunity to network, learn, and lead in shaping the future of supply chain finance.
