In this episode, we speak to Marie-Laurence Faure-Lepetit, Head of Digital Trade, and Alain Verschueren, Head of Innovation & DLT, at BNP Paribas’ Trade Finance Competence Centre, about their contributions to an article titled ‘The evolving landscape of bank-fintech partnerships’, which appears in the GTR Q3 issue. The conversation discusses the ways in which collaboration between banks and fintechs has progressed, and what may still be needed to get more projects off the ground in the trade finance space. For the last year, GTR has been partnering with BNP Paribas on a series of articles called the “Trade Innovation Lab”, that focus on a particular area of innovation within trade and trade finance. In our GTR Trade Insight podcasts, we speak to the experts behind the articles, to bring these articles to life and get a sense of what these sources are seeing unfolding within the industry.
