Offered exclusively to our members, the SME Finance Forum’s study visits are an integral part of our peer learning opportunities. Whether members are looking to expand their SME lending, in the nascent stage of their SME lending, or just thinking about starting SME lending, the study visits offer the opportunity to learn best practices from highly respected peers.

The Global SME Finance Forum 2017 will be held November 1-3 in Berlin, Germany. A series of study visits on November 1 will give participants access to best practice institutions in Berlin. On the visit, you will have the opportunity to learn about latest fintech innovations and good practice in SME banking and non-financial services.

Deutsche Bank Labs Berlin

DB Labs help the Bank apply new technologies from global centers of innovation to enhance its products, services and processes. They will also further strengthen the DB’s ability to innovate, while deepening its relationships with technology start-ups. Henry Ritchotte, Chief Digital Officer of Deutsche Bank, has commented on DB Labs, “Technology is transforming banking and innovation is one of Deutsche Bank’s core values. These labs will act as a bridge between start-ups and different parts of the Bank, enabling it to apply innovative technology to enhance service to clients and internal processes.” In addition to Berlin, DB also runs innovation labs in New York, Silicon Valley and London.
