We are excited to confirm that the inaugural GTR CEE conference will be taking place in the city of Vienna, Austria on October 8, bringing the GTR event model to the thriving Central & Eastern Europe market.
Reflecting on the latest themes and trends across a wide range of markets, including the likes of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania, the event will address a number of topics and talking points, from the impact of the Ukraine war and how sanction regimes have impacted commodity prices and supply chain resilience, to how global changes in sourcing and production make CEE countries an attractive hub for manufacturing and logistics.
Discussion will also focus on the financing provisions available from banks and other providers, from traditional vanilla trade credit to open account options such as factoring and the growth of supply chain finance, as well as the great strides made in trade digitisation, the role of multilateral development institutions in trade facilitation, regulatory changes and the transition towards long-term sustainability and ESG objectives.
Set to welcome over 300 representatives across a wide range of corporates and financiers, including multinationals, SMEs, banks and non-bank providers, fintechs, insurers, lawyers, ECAs and DFIs, this special one-day event is a must for anyone seeking to capitalise on the opportunities provided across these exciting markets.
