The 49th Annual International Trade and Forfaiting Conference will be held in Abu Dhabi – the capital of the United Arab Emirates, between 11-13 October, 2023 at the luxurious Ritz Carlton, Abu Dhabi Grand Canal Hotel.

At this year’s edition the conference will explore the opportunities that economic diversification and sustainability bring for regional businesses and banks, which is a significant aspect of trade innovation. The Middle East is moving beyond “Big Oil” towards economic diversification and sustainability, creating opportunities for businesses and banks in infrastructure, trade, smart technologies, and commercial outreach. In 2023 and beyond, ESG considerations will play a significant role amidst economic downturns, energy security pressures, and changing regulatory frameworks. Banks are innovating in the distribution of their trade assets to new investors.

Meet our team of experts at Booth #22 to learn how Finastra can help financial institutions navigate this complex landscape.

And if you are at the ITFA this year don’t miss out on the panel discussion on “Digital negotiable instruments and digital assets defining the future of trade finance” where our very own Iain MacLennan, Vice President (General Manager): Trade & Supply Chain Finance, will present his perspective on the future of trade finance.
