ICC Supply Chain Finance Summit 2025
Singapore22-23 October 2025, Singapore
Join global leaders in trade, finance, policy, and technology at this year's ICC Supply Chain Finance Summit.
Held under the theme “Rebuilding trust, driving innovation: the future of supply chain finance in a fragmented world,” this two-day summit will explore how the SCF ecosystem is evolving in the face of rising geopolitical tensions, digital disruption, and demands for greater sustainability and transparency.
Hosted by ICC Academy, the International Chamber of Commerce's (ICC) training and knowledge hub, this event will convene senior leaders and decision makers from across the global trade, finance, and technology sectors for thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions, and candid fireside chats.
Through thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions, and candid fireside chats, the summit will address some of the most pressing questions in global trade and finance:
- How can we rebuild trust and ensure compliance across increasingly complex supply chains?
- What does the future of liquidity look like in a world of rising interest rates and credit tightening?
- How are technologies like blockchain, AI, and digital documentation reshaping efficiency and risk models?
- What skills, strategies, and leadership will define the next generation of trade finance professionals?
- Can DeFi coexist—or even lead—the next evolution of SCF?
Whether you're a banker, corporate treasurer, policymaker, fintech innovator, or trade professional, the ICC SCF Summit is your opportunity to network, learn, and lead in shaping the future of supply chain finance.
