Event Details

SwedCham is delighted to invite our Corporate Members to an exclusive F2F event with DBS Bank.


Trade finance is the lifeblood of international commerce and is vital for turning the wheels of the global economy. As Asian economies continue to rise, new and innovative ways of practicing trade are emerging. There is also a need for growing adoption of digital solutions to cater to shifting customer expectations. While challenges remain in mitigating risks and improving operational efficiency in paper-intensive transactions, progress towards digitalisation is gaining momentum among industry players and banks.


How can Swedish MNCs and SMEs in Singapore take advantage of new opportunities in trade digitalisation to accelerate and power business growth?


Join us for a conversation with Piyush Gupta, Group CEO, and Sriram Muthukrishnan, Managing Director & Group Head of Trade Product Management, DBS Bank, focusing on how DBS sees trade finance evolve to meet the demands of an increasingly digitalised world. Mr Muthukrishnan is leading the digital initiatives at DBS Bank and his top priority is to ensure growth of the trade business, including Documentary Trade and Open Account Trade (receivable purchases, supplier finance, buyer finance and finance leases) to secure DBS as the leading digital bank in the trade space.
