Supply chain finance has emerged as a critical solution for SMEs struggling with cash flow challenges, with the global SCF market exceeding $2.3 trillion and growing at 22.7% annually. Over 60% of new SCF adopters in 2023 were SMEs benefiting from digital platforms, AI-driven credit assessments, and blockchain verification.
This panel will address critical gaps including high transaction costs for smaller businesses, limited access in rural areas, and digital adoption barriers. Discussions will cover innovative technology solutions, alternative data models, and strategies for democratizing supply chain finance access for underserved SME segments. We would also discuss the regulatory enablers needed to scale SCF solutions especially to reach the most underserved SMEs in value chains.
