GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE
INTRO:
Does your organization struggle with late payments from buyers in your supply chain?
Does your organization find it difficult to scale because of the unavailability of financing?
Does your organization find it challenging to do business with international clients because of payment issues?
Does your organization find that the services your bank offers are not actually what it needs to grow?
Does your organization find it challenging to source raw materials from a wider range of suppliers?
If your organization have any of these challenges and more then you must attend the Global Supply Chain Finance Course in Riga on the 25 and 26th April 2019.
Supply Chain Finance is a growing box of tools within trade finance for companies everywhere. It is now being implemented by many financial institutions and corporates all over the world.
In this 2-day course, we plan to study Supply Chain Finance in great depth to equip practitioners with key principles that will help them structure the best solution for their operations.
A key emphasis of this course will be the flexibility of Supply Chain Finance in that the key terms are shaped around the contours of each specific deal and the key trends in global trade e.g. traceability, fair trade and technological innovation.
Additionally, we will also look at Supply Chain Finance in context of increasing risks and opportunities in global trade.
To do this effectively, we will take a regionally focused approach whereby we will look at each global region separately and consider the key general and specific issues related to doing business in that region and how to mitigate it through Supply Chain Finance.
Finally, we will look at Supply Chain Finance as a tool to really inject dynamism into a business, in this section, we will work to connect it to every aspect of the practitioner’s business to highlight thee transformative effect of Supply Chain Finance.
Additionally, every company will get a free consultation on how they can develop their supply chain structures further from the souring of products, accessing supply chain finance, logistics solutions and supply chain operations.
During the evening of Day 1, we will have some time to enjoy some sights and attractions in Riga.
