Dubai, February 2026

Alkagesta was delighted to participate in GTR MENA 2026, held on 10–11 February 2026 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Dubai, UAE.

Recognised as the region’s premier event for trade and exports, GTR MENA
brings together leaders in trade finance, commodity trading, supply chain finance, export finance, banking, and fintech from across the Middle East and North Africa.

Strengthening Alkagesta’s Presence in Global Trade Markets

Participation in GTR MENA 2026 reinforces Alkagesta’s continued growth across major international trading hubs, including Alkagesta Dubai, Alkagesta Geneva, Alkagesta Malta, Alkagesta London, and Alkagesta Singapore.

The conference addressed key themes shaping today’s global markets, including:

  • Trade diversification across the GCC
  • Supply chain resilience and geopolitical risk
  • Digitalisation and interoperability in global trade
  • AI in international trade and credit risk analytics
  • Islamic trade finance growth
  • Credit insurance and structured trade finance solutions

As an international commodity trading and logistics company, Alkagesta values platforms that support dialogue around cross-border trade flows, working capital optimisation, pricing transparency, and risk management.

Innovation & Risk in Trade Finance

Sessions featuring institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) highlighted the growing role of digitalisation, AI, and alternative financing structures in expanding access to trade.

Discussions around maritime disruption, regulatory adaptation, and sanctions compliance are directly relevant to participants in physical commodity trading and international supply chains.

Looking Ahead

Alkagesta looks forward to continuing the conversations initiated at GTR MENA 2026 and contributing to the development of resilient, transparent, and technology-driven global trade and commodity finance ecosystems.

Active participation in leading industry events remains central to Alkagesta’s long-term strategy across commodity markets, trade finance, and international logistics.
