Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the TFG Awards exist?
The TFG International Trade Awards, in cooperation with BAFT, aim to recognise and promote  businesses and service providers who are directly or indirectly contributing towards the trade, supply chain and receivables space. Simply put, TFG looks at the trade market before nominating and later awarding companies who have shown an outstanding contribution to the sector.
Can I nominate my company?
Nominees for the Awards are chosen by staff and judges within Trade Finance Global. However, we also welcome external applications or self-nominations – please use the form above.
Does it cost and can I sponsor?
Absolutely not, unlike many awards, the TFG International Trade Awards are not-for-profit and seek to recognise the best in the industry. The winners are chosen because of the quality of their services and products, hence why this is a completely non-commercial activity, run by TFG.

Winners will receive a complimentary certificate.

Is there an awards ceremony?
Yes. TFG will be announcing the winners of the 2022 Awards at BAFT’s 2022 Global Annual Meeting on the 4 May 2022 in Washington.
What do the winning companies or organisations get?
Winning a TFG International Trade Award is a competitive and rewarding experience, and winners often receive considerable press coverage and recognition. The winners will be featured on our homepage, as well as a dedicated interview section for each winning company. This will be promoted across TFG’s media channels and through our institutional associations and partners.
Can I nominate my company for more than one award?
Yes, absolutely.
What is the difference between the Trade Digitalisation Award and the Tradetech Innovator Award?
The Tradetech innovator award focuses on innovations pertaining to the wider trade cycle, using complementary technologies for the end-to-end digitalisation of trade, whereas, the Trade digitisation award focuses on the digitisation of a particular process, document or facet of trade finance.
