The focus

In today’s interconnected global economy, seamless access to liquidity and efficient cross-border payment systems are critical for sustaining growth, mitigating risk, and maintaining competitive advantage. Yet traditional financial infrastructures often struggle to keep pace with the demands of multinational supply chains, volatile markets, and complex regulatory environments.

Digital asset technologies are reshaping B2B finance, offering unprecedented opportunities to streamline trade credit, enhance working capital efficiency, and reduce friction in cross-border transactions.

From blockchain-powered tokenization of receivables to smart contract automation, these innovations are enabling enterprises to unlock liquidity, optimize treasury operations, and strengthen financial resilience at scale.

Join us on the 29th of April as part of the TOKEN2049 events in Dubai to discover how trade receivables offer SMEs a flexible, asset-based solution that supports operational continuity and growth without heavy debt, and how tokenisation technologies support this trend.
