Gathering C-suite ECA leaders, the first keynote panel of the day puts our speakers in the hot seat to talk deal-making.

- How are European ECA's currently innovating in terms of product offerings and deals? 

- Which regions and sectors are ECAs looking at for new business and opportunities? 

- What's the most exciting deal closed by each ECA over the past year and why? 

This session will dissect a large-scale international project - the construction and equipment of over 20 vocational centres throughout Senegal. Swiss-based contractor Mitrelli Group, and SERV, the official ECA of Switzerland, who collaborated on this project, will give their insight into:

- How was this transaction structured? 

- The biggest headwinds faced, and how they were overcome? 

- What were the 'lessons learned' that could be applied to the market more broadly? 

This session comprises DACH ECA leaders to discuss how the role of export finance is changing in the region

- Has the profile of the typical client changed, and how?

- As technology evolves and becomes more key, how can the industry identify new opportunities/projects?

- How do ECAs stay on top of relevant and current industry needs? Is it important to have a network of representatives in target markets?
