Join us as we delve into how digital tools and Fintech innovations can strengthen SMEs' financial inclusion.

Digital solutions can facilitate management of online payments, ease credit assessment and help address SMEs’ under-collateralization by leveraging real time cash-flow data, enable the development of tailored financial products to SMEs, and enhance the delivery by government agencies and public financial institutions of targeted financing programmes for SMEs.
Moreover, the integration of open banking practices can improve SMEs' access to financial services, enabling more personalized banking experiences and streamlined financial operations.

In Panel 1, experts from government, industry, and academia will examine the challenges faced by SMEs in leveraging latest fintech solutions, including information gaps, high transaction costs, and limited financial knowledge.
The discussion will also spotlight policy initiatives that aim to bring fintech closer to SMEs, including regulatory measures, platforms linking SMEs with Fintech companies, and private sector initiatives promoting digital financial literacy.

In Panel 2, experts will unravel the dynamic landscape of technology-enabled financial management for SMEs. The discussion will focus on how digital tools enable SMEs to better manage their cash flows, business finances, payroll processes, and all aspects related to financial operations.
The Panel will also discuss the role of the “ecosystem” of financial advisers, consultants, and technology providers supporting SMEs in both their financial management and digital transition.
