We are honoured to invite you to the inaugural Tallinn Supply Chain Finance Summit 2022, taking place on 31 May - 1 June 2022.
The programme is targeted at bank and non-bank financiers, fintechs and corporations, who would like to discuss the role of technology in Supply Chain Finance (SCF), with a special focus on implementing SCF in challenging sectors such as retail and construction. As the Estonian state has set its focus on furthering the real-time economy, the event will also attract policymakers engaged in digitalisation of trade, taxation and payments.
The event will feature world class solutions and technology from global vendors as well as showcasing some of the cutting edge regional technology companies which are rolling out products of international value and application.
From its roots in Hanseatic trade in the Middle Ages to one of the most IT-driven economies in the world, coupled with a wealth of Estonian hospitality, Tallinn sets the stage for an enlightening and entertaining event.
Participation in Tallinn SCF Summit 2022 is free of charge, thanks to the generous support from its organisers SupplierPlus and ITFA. We are also very grateful to the EBRD for their support!
Come to Tallinn and be Estonished!
