Context

The SME Finance Forum has evolved its Communities of Practice into member-led Innovation Hubs, offering technical expertise and solutions for its members. These SME Finance Innovation Hubs serve as best practice transfer platforms, exclusively designed for our members and partners.

These hubs consist of groups of practitioners who convene to share best practices and address challenges related to SME financing within their institutions. Innovation meetings, which are exclusive to members and partners, bring together professionals from around the world. These meetings are typically off the record, fostering open discussions and in-depth exploration of topics.

Our Innovation Hubs aim to drive outcomes through seven key enablers:

-          Ecosystem: Building a network of members and strategic partners.

-          Solutions: Tackling specific and evolving issues identified by members.

-          Member-Led: Members co-chair and assume various roles in execution.

-          Synergy: Utilizing expertise and networks from both external and internal partners.

-          Clinics: Hosting “Solutions Clinics” to address problems and promote best practice transfer.

-          Content: Producing industry-leading content, conducting research, and running pilots.

-          Market: Sourcing industry solutions through Tech-Sprints and global networks.

Our Innovation Hubs leverage knowledge to solve problems through:

-          Solutions Clinics

-          Hackathons

-          Ongoing discussion groups

-          Knowledge repositories
