Startup Of The Week: Enigio

Trade finance, the financial instruments and products that are used by companies to facilitate international trade and commerce generates an estimated 28 billion pieces of paper globally every year.  Enigio, a World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer, is out to change that by providing freely transferable digital documents that are legally compliant in applications such as bills of of lading, promissory notes, bank guarantees and warehouse receipts.

Clients include Lloyds Bank and Mercore, a global trade focused fintech group, as well as corporates and logistics providers.
