The trade finance gap represents the cumulative amount of requested trade finance that is rejected. In 2019, the Asian Development Bank estimated that the global trade finance gap was at USD 1.5 trillion, but amid the fallout from the pandemic this figure has skyrocketed. A new research from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) estimates a capacity of USD 1.9 to USD 5 trillion in the trade credit market is necessary to return to 2019 levels. Factoring in this estimation along with the existing 2019 trade finance gap of USD$1.5 trillion means that now between US 3.4 trillion and US 6.5 trillion are needed to be able to meet the 2015 UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Mitigram is the most trusted network in Trade Finance and used by many of the world’s largest corporates and banks. This video will show how the Open Market Discovery module can help banks to see more business opportunities and acquire new customers.

Less than six months after launching the Open Market Discovery module, Swedish fintech Mitigram is releasing their latest, and to date biggest, add-on to their Trade Finance platform: MitiManager, a solution that will allow corporates to manage all their Trade Finance Transactions in one application.

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In May 2017, The Economist wrote an article echoing the idea that data had overtaken oil as the world's most valuable resource. For as much truth there is in such a statement, it is equally true that the only thing worse than not having data to work with, is to have "bad data" that lead to bad decisions.

"A challenging yet exciting year is coming to an end. In 2020 Mitigram has set a new record: over 44 thousand individual requests for Trade Finance quotation were sent out using our platform. Thanks to all the top corporates and financial institutions that have trusted Mitigram and made all this possible. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."

During the last decade, something rather extraordinary has been happening in Sweden's capital Stockholm, as the emergence of Unicorns have become quite common. In this context, a Unicorn is not a magical creature, but a start-up that went through scale-up and eventually grew into a business valued in excess of USD 1Bn. With a population of 2 million people, Stockholm produces more unicorn companies per capita than any region outside Silicon Valley. Names such as Skype, Spotify and Klarna are some of the most famous examples of Stockholm's unicorn factory. As Sweden remains one of the most well known tech hubs in Europe, another unicorn in the making could join the party: Mitigram, a fintech scale-up with a unified platform to connect all the participants in the $10Tn Trade Finance industry.
