Networks of networks: The growing importance of supporting global supply chains and international trade

Read the write up of our international "Networks of networks" debate, lead by Finastra's Anastasia McAlpine. Following the G7 framework, we look at collaboration towards digital trade finance in action with the Digital Standards Initiative (DSI) and the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR). We discuss a new era following remarkably fast technological changes in the past few months and the role of SWIFT. Our panel give the view on the future of legislation and how distributed ledger technology is a front-runner solution, and then weigh up the current weakest links in the frameworks for digitizing trade today.
