Over the last decade, emerging markets (EM) increased their share of global economic output by 20%, putting more money into the hands of consumers and businesses. Now, new technologies are empowering EM businesses to drive innovation, local development, and global competition. Agriculture is a case in point: Five of the leading agriculture financial technology (fintech) startups were initially formed to close gaps faced by producers and suppliers in Indonesia, Africa, and Latin America.
In this webinar, we’ll learn how these technologies are disrupting agricultural supply chains for the benefit of all players. Our panel will be moderated by Jinhua Zhao, Ph.D., the David J. Nolan Dean of the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and will feature Lourdes Casanova of the Cornell SC Johnson School of Business Emerging Markets Institute and Pablo Borquez Schwarzbeck, MBA ’15, CEO and co-founder of agriculture fintech leader ProducePay. Together, they’ll explore how technology innovators are connecting EM suppliers directly to international markets, providing access to the data and financing they need to succeed.
