For SignConnect, both parties will promote the adoption of digital identity authentication to enhance credibility and convenience for SMEs in digital trade financing. Lastly, both parties will co-host workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions covering topics such as cross-boundary e-commerce, SME digital transformation, and financial literacy, fostering industry exchange and capability enhancement to help enterprises stay ahead of emerging trends in digital trade and finance.
