The Global SME Finance Forum is an annual global meeting of leaders from banks, fintech companies and government institutions, working on accelerating access to finance for small businesses. This year’s event will take place in Berlin, Germany, which also holds the G20 Presidency.

The action-packed 3–day event will include study visits to high-performing institutions, a B2B marketplace, fintech expos, panels, working groups as well as networking sessions and a gala dinner.

The event is hosted by the SME Finance Forum, which runs a global membership network bringing together 100+ banks, fintech companies and development finance institutions to share knowledge, promote collaboration and inform policy.
