GTR Nordics 2019
Radisson Blu Waterfront (Congress Centre, Level 2), Stockholm, Sweden

Building trade financing strategies for a volatile global environment
GTR Nordics returned to Stockholm on November 19, 2019, welcoming another record-breaking audience of over 500 trade finance experts, insurers, bankers, ECAs, technology innovators and corporates of all sizes.
The event once again provided a lively forum to discuss the latest strategic developments across key geographical markets and industry sectors, featuring extensive reflection on the trade and export financing sector’s capability to meet the needs of Nordic corporates despite strong regulatory headwinds.
Discussion pinpointed the impact of trade sanctions and complex KYC compliance demands as some of the most pressing challenges faced in the current climate, with strategic concerns surrounding CSR and ESG standards, sustainability and trade digitisation also featuring prominently. Broad audience consensus pointed to increasing collaboration and coordination between the market’s key players as a crucial factor in the sector’s capability to maintain relevant. As showcased at GTR Nordics 2019, standardisation and digitisation are already addressing these pressing issues in areas such as small ticket export finance and compliance screening: we’re hugely excited to return to Stockholm in 2020 to hear more on the latest financing innovations optimising support for Nordic trade.
We’re moving – but not too far!
After many consecutive years of attendance growth, we know it has been getting cramped in the GTR Nordics conference hall and networking area… We are delighted to announce that 2020’s conference will take place on November 12, moving upstairs to the larger event space at the Radisson Blu Waterfront, Stockholm. While offering a more comfortable space to mingle, this also provides the opportunity to add some exciting new event features. GTR Nordics 2020 promises to be the biggest and best yet: watch this space for more details as we move towards the conference date!
