GTR Asia will return to Singapore on September 2-3, 2025, once again serving as the premier platform for the trade community in the Asia Pacific region, attracting senior decision-makers from the worlds of trade and supply chain finance, commodity finance, fintech and treasury.

Highlights include the highly anticipated Tradetech Showcase hosted by GTR Ventures, a new boardroom scenario session focused on global trade security, in-depth discussions, fireside chats, interactive presentations and more. The afternoon of day one will also feature the Asia Bank to Bank Forum, hosted by the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), presenting leading discussions about banking and finance.

The programme will also feature analysis of the Asian Development Bank’s flagship Trade Finance Gaps, Growth and Jobs Survey 2025.
Enjoying support from the region’s leading financial institutions and in close partnership with Singapore’s key government agencies and trade bodies, GTR Asia 2025 promises to deliver unparalleled networking opportunities, thought-provoking content and vibrant discussions.
