FCI is pleased to support the 11th Annual Supply Chain Finance Summit (SCFS25), hosted by BCR. This highly anticipated event will take place on 29–30 January 2025 at Cecabank, Madrid, bringing together key industry professionals to explore the transformative trends shaping the future of supply chain finance (SCF).

The supply chain finance landscape is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by factors such as trade policy uncertainties, the demand for simplified SCF solutions, and the growing importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. Stakeholders are increasingly aligning on sustainability KPIs, while technological innovations such as AI, cloud technology, and digitisation continue to redefine global trade processes.

FCI's Participation in the Agenda

As part of the summit, FCI is proud to contribute to the insightful panel session on Understanding Supply Chain Dynamics – What Are Corporates Most Concerned About?

The session will feature Ms. Betül Kurtuluș, Regional Director, and fellow panellists as they explore critical challenges and opportunities in today’s supply chain environment, including:

• Overstocking and understocking: Strategies for transitioning from just-in-time to just-in-case inventory approaches.
• Sector-specific disruptions: Insights into sectors currently causing supply chain bottlenecks, such as semiconductor availability, and how SCF practitioners can assist.
• Geopolitical influences: Navigating slowbalisation, retreating free trade policies, and tariff barriers.
• Multibank sector evolution: Understanding the growing dynamics of herbivores and carnivores in the sector.
• Institutional impact: Examining how entities like ICC, FCI, ITFA, and WTO shape SCF practices.

This session will provide valuable perspectives on how SCF can address pressing concerns in global supply chains and foster resilience amid ongoing challenges.

The 11th Annual Supply Chain Finance Summit will serve as a hub for debate, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing over two days of engaging sessions. Whether you are looking to navigate regulatory challenges, explore ESG-driven SCF strategies, or unlock the potential of emerging technologies, this event is designed to provide you with the insights and connections needed to thrive.

FCI looks forward to participating in this landmark event and engaging with industry leaders to further innovate and support the SCF ecosystem.
