Paris, France, June 21 – Recognised as a key market gathering for trade and export finance specialists, financiers and regional business heads, this year’s GTR Europe Trade & Export Finance Conference 2017 will take place in Paris.
This one-day event features sessions addressed by and for corporates, two afternoon streams – one covering key African markets and another analysing the impact of disruptive technology in trade finance – and multiple networking breaks allowing attendees to expand their contact base and gain valuable insights. Expected in attendance are some of the biggest international names such as the Airbus Group, Nokia and Siemens.
“The significance of trade within Europe has of course been at the forefront of the global news agenda over the last year, with discussions over Brexit and the EU, elections throughout the continent and concerns over protectionism from further afield all posing challenges for trading companies, exporters and supporting financiers alike,” says Jeff Ando, Production Director at GTR Events. “This year’s gathering will reflect on all of this whilst hearing first hand from those operating at the ground level of regional and international trade.”
