Where freighttech & fintech converge

For the past decade, FinTech has been the hottest startup sector with innovations in payments, insurance and markets. Five years ago, FreightTech and supply chain technologies took off and are experiencing the same momentum today. In the past year, we've seen companies that are both FinTech and FreightTech emerge – which could create a big bang-level event for the innovation ecosystem.

Even more exciting is that the two worlds are coming together – FinTech companies are being created to solve supply chain issues and emerging supply chain tech startups are using payments, transactional insurance and other financial services to monetize their solutions.

Join us virtually on August 17th as FinTech experts will discuss the intersection of financial and supply chain innovation.
