Where Global Fintech Leaders Shape the Future of Trade Finance
The global fintech community will gather in Singapore from 12 to 14 November 2025 for the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), marking ten years of innovation, inclusion, and collaboration.
As the world’s largest fintech event enters its 10th year, SFF 2025 will not only celebrate the progress made so far but will also define what the next decade of financial innovation will look like.
For exporters, financiers, and technology leaders, this event is more than a showcase of ideas. It is the global stage where finance, technology, and trade converge. For Factorglobe, it represents a pivotal opportunity to explore how digital receivables and export factoring can empower global businesses to grow faster and trade smarter.
Over the past decade, trade finance has evolved from paper-driven transactions to digital, data-powered ecosystems. Fintech has transformed how businesses manage working capital, assess risk, and connect with global buyers.
Today, exporters face a rapidly changing environment. Currency fluctuations, shifting regulations, and rising operational costs have created new challenges. At the same time, advances in technology are opening new doors for efficiency, transparency, and financial inclusion.
SFF 2025 provides a rare opportunity to explore how innovation can solve real-world financing challenges faced by exporters and small businesses. It brings together regulators, investors, fintechs, and trade professionals from across the world to collaborate on shaping a more connected and resilient financial future.
Exporters are looking for seamless access to capital within their daily business systems. The rise of embedded trade finance allows lending and factoring to integrate directly into platforms such as ERPs, e-commerce portals, and logistics dashboards.
Factorglobe believes that embedded financing will redefine the experience of exporters. It will enable faster access to working capital, real-time visibility of receivables, and simplified cross-border cash flow management.
One of the biggest shifts in trade finance today is the digitalisation of receivables. Blockchain technology and tokenisation are helping financiers, exporters, and investors create liquid, tradable assets from invoices and trade documents.
Factorglobe views this as a transformative moment. By digitising receivables, exporters can unlock faster financing, better pricing, and greater transparency in their trade transactions.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how credit risk is evaluated. Advanced data models can now predict defaults, assess buyer credibility, and detect fraud far faster than traditional methods.
For platforms like Factorglobe, AI means greater precision in underwriting and faster approval cycles. It also ensures that more exporters, including small and medium enterprises, can gain access to finance based on data rather than collateral.
Singapore’s Monetary Authority continues to play a pioneering role in encouraging open finance, digital identity systems, and transparent compliance standards. At SFF 2025, global regulators will discuss how to create interoperable frameworks that allow trade finance to flow smoothly across markets.
Factorglobe believes this regulatory collaboration is essential. When markets speak a common digital language, exporters gain easier access to finance, while institutions reduce operational and compliance friction.
Sustainable trade and ethical financing are now integral to how capital moves globally. Fintechs and financial institutions are building systems to measure ESG performance, incentivise green trade, and direct funding toward sustainable supply chains.
Factorglobe sees ESG-linked trade finance as the next major wave of innovation. By integrating sustainability data into export financing, businesses can attract more investors and strengthen their market reputation.
Exporters will gain exposure to innovative financing tools, new market insights, and opportunities to collaborate with global partners. Financial institutions will discover new ways to integrate technology into their lending and compliance systems. Fintech companies will showcase solutions that make trade faster, safer, and more transparent.
SFF 2025 will serve as the meeting ground where exporters, financiers, and fintech innovators come together to create the next era of cross-border trade finance.
Factorglobe is building a connected global receivables network designed to make export financing simpler, faster, and more transparent.
The platform enables exporters to:
• Access instant receivables financing
• Verify buyers and manage credit risks across markets
• Connect with multiple financiers through one digital interface
• Automate document verification and compliance checks
• Gain predictive insights on payment behaviour and FX impact
Factorglobe’s vision is to make global receivables liquid, trusted, and accessible to every exporter regardless of size or geography.
If you plan to attend, start by identifying the sessions and themes that align most closely with your business. Explore workshops on AI in lending, tokenisation of assets, and ESG-linked finance. Connect early with potential partners, fintech founders, and investors to make meaningful conversations happen.
Bring your story, your data, and your ideas. SFF is about collaboration as much as innovation.
The Singapore FinTech Festival 2025 is not just an event. It is a global platform where the future of trade finance is being built.
From artificial intelligence and tokenised receivables to embedded finance and sustainability-linked funding, the transformation of global trade is accelerating.
At Factorglobe, we believe that the future of trade finance is digital, inclusive, and borderless. We are proud to contribute to that vision and to support exporters in accessing fast, transparent, and reliable working capital solutions.
