This convening will bring together leading practitioners and innovators to explore three emerging frontiers in supply chain and SME finance: (i) how agentic AI can elevate Supply Chain Finance (SCF) and trade finance through greater automation, intelligence, and decision-making while addressing adoption, governance, regulatory, and implementation challenges; (ii) the opportunities and practical requirements for developing deep-tier SCF programs that extend financing and visibility to lower-tier suppliers, drawing on successful case studies and pilot approaches; and (iii) the evolution of SME Growth Networks, examining how platform-led ecosystems, network effects, and new roles for financial institutions can move beyond financing to actively enable SME growth and competitiveness.
Through a combination of expert roundtables and case-study discussions, participants will identify key success factors, implementation pathways, and collaborative opportunities to advance innovation, inclusion, and scale across the SME finance ecosystem.
