GTR Asia took place virtually in 2021, offering critical marketing insight and unparalleled expertise from established trade and trade finance leaders across the globe, as the world continues to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Connecting well over 1,000 participants from all corners of the market, the event reflected on a range of key themes, from the progress made in digitisation initiatives, challenges in the shipping sector, ESG priorities and efforts to combat fraud. All sessions will remain available to view via the dedicated GTR platform for 6 months, as well as being regularly featured in GTR’s multimedia output.

Next year’s gathering is scheduled to return in-person in Singapore, please look out for further announcements regarding this. We hope to see you there!
