ICC Academy Supply Chain Finance Summit 2025
ICC Academy Supply Chain Finance Summit: 22-23 October 2025, Singapore
Join global leaders in trade, finance, policy, and technology at the ICC Academy’s flagship Supply Chain Finance Summit. This two-day event will bring together experts and decision-makers to explore how the SCF ecosystem is evolving in the face of rising geopolitical tensions, digital disruption, and demands for greater sustainability and transparency.
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?
This year’s programme features senior voices from global banks, fintechs, corporates, academia, regulators, and international institutions, offering a unique cross-sector perspective.
Whether you're a banker, corporate treasurer, policymaker, fintech innovator, or trade professional, the SCF Summit is your opportunity to network, learn, and lead in shaping the future of supply chain finance.

13.45 – 14.45 Session 3: Panel - Building the Trade Finance Workforce of the Future: Skills, Strategy and Senior Engagement
As digital transformation accelerates and ESG, compliance, and innovation reshape the trade finance landscape, the workforce must evolve alongside it—from junior practitioners to board directors.

10.00 – 11.00 Session 6: Sustainability and Finance: Aligning Supply Chain Goals with Green Capital
As sustainability moves from aspiration to obligation, companies are under increasing pressure to embed ESG into their supply chains — and finance plays a critical enabling role.
