materials and more.GTR’s East Africa Trade & Commodity Finance Conference returned to Kenya in May, bringing together the region’s leading corporates, traders, bankers & financiers for two days of discussion and debate on the region’s economic and trade situation.

A special focus on innovative technology and its implementation within the industry, debates about the future opportunities of commodity trading in the region and microfinance in general triggered the interest of bankers, financiers and treasurers, keeping corporates, traders and financiers informed about today’s fast-evolving landscape.

With close to 280 delegates representing 140 companies joining the discussion, this year’s event was a real success and eclipsed the previous years’ numbers. GTR will return to Kenya in 2018!

“It has been a great conference where professional minds and network meet. With a well-organized program and activities, indeed a lot has been achieved by many institutions and we would like to encourage them to continue with that spirit.”

George Otieno Ochola, inAfrica24.com

“Excellent thought provoking presentations. Panel members provided insightful information in the trade industry.”

J Rweyemamu, Standard Chartered
