Most corporate banks have already integrated digitalization and sustainability assessments into their lending processes or investment decisions. Transformation aspects already determine the interest rates and risk premiums charged by financiers. In the short term, further significant changes are to be expected, as well as stricter requirements in terms of the documents that borrowers must submit. Many banks have started to develop their own range of services to advise companies undergoing transformation and thus support their customers not only with financing, but also with the sustainable alignment of their business models.
How does Fin.Connect.NRW deal with the topic of knowledge transfer?
Fin.Connect.NRW focuses on technical discussions and further developments in transformation financing. A regular exchange of experience and knowledge between the stakeholders takes place in various event formats.
To this end, information from practice and science is prepared and concrete recommendations for action are developed for banks, companies (especially SMEs) and for state policy.
The topic of transfer is dealt with in Fin.Connect.NRW in the "Transfer" specialist group, in which members of the competence center can network with relevant stakeholders on specific topics and provide important impetus for NRW as a business location.
The focus is on the transfer of practice-oriented knowledge on sustainability reporting, innovations and new technologies to SMEs and the banking landscape.
