London, UK. TFG is delighted to announce a media partnership with the 5th World Trade Symposium, hosted by Finastra. With 2020 seeing unprecedented global trade tensions, the human and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a resurgence in protectionism, is there a silver lining for 2021? Could a 180° change in American leadership, the deployment of vaccines and promising technologies set to end paper-based trade, and helping organisations get back on track?

The World Symposium promises attendance from corporate leaders, trade financiers, and policymakers, who will share the stage with fresh-thinking innovators and startup bosses who aim to make world trade more robust, sustainable, and inclusive.

Key topics:

  • What must governments, businesses, and international institutions do to put economies, and their own organisations back on track? 
  • What lessons from COVID-19 must become embedded into trade frameworks? 
  • How can stakeholders leverage digital trade and new technology to enhance resiliency and sustainability? 
  • Where do opportunities exist for firms in the post-COVID-19 world?

Finastra’s World Trade Symposium will feature big names in trade, from Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretariat-General at UNCTAD to Raj Subramaniam, President and COO of FedEx, with a packed agenda – from supply chain resilience to inclusive and sustainable trade.
