Increasing SME Access to Working Capital: E-invoicing and Digital Credit Infrastructure

E-invoicing is growing rapidly, driven by government mandates in an increasing number of markets and by the global organic evolution of business processes towards digitization.

E-invoicing repositories - whether implemented through third-party platforms or government-operated - form part of the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) that enables efficient business operations, tax compliance, and increasingly access to finance.

How is digitization of invoicing increasing access to finance for SMEs?

How have credit infrastructure reforms in the areas of secured transactions and registration of invoices  supported invoice financing?
 

During this webinar, our expert speakers will describe how modernized credit infrastructure has facilitated e-invoicing and how innovators in SME finance are leveraging these advances to help SMEs optimize their working capital.
Key topics to be covered include:

  • E-invoicing adoption: policy mandates and voluntary digitization
  • Credit infrastructure that enables leveraging e-invoices for financing
  • Case studies 

 

Webinar Agenda

  • Opening remarks by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs
