Description: BLOCKCHAIN BASICS 2021 Series
Episode #3: Evolution of Trade Finance Technology
September 23, 2021 at 1:00 PM CST
The financing of the international trade of goods — and the underwriting thereof — implicate a many-staged process of manufacture, storage, movement, delivery, inspection, and vending. The parties involved are many. The documentation of rights and responsibilities used to fill a small library of paper, and now involves paper, electronic communication, and some digital information transfer. Many points of delay and potential contention persist. Can blockchain clean this up? What other technological developments are reshaping trade finance?
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it.
