The world’s SME finance gap is now in the trillions of dollars. Closing it requires more than capital – it requires a network.
The SME Finance Forum, managed by the World Bank Group, will host its 12th annual flagship event, organized with strategic partner Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), bringing together a diverse network of policymakers, financiers, fintechs and innovators who are building that system – advancing SME financing and driving the development and adoption of new knowledge and digital solutions.
The 2026 Global SME Finance Forum will take place under the theme: Transforming Access Into Impact: Market, Capital, Technology. Co-located with the Singapore FinTech Festival, this year’s Forum offers the unique opportunity to gain access to a broad ecosystem of high-level policy dialogues, cutting-edge fintechs, and technology solution providers.
