This year, at the FinTech Festival Lab Crawl hosted by MUFG Bank, we take a close look at how FinTech solutions can address issues for stakeholders across the agri-food supply chain and connect the dots between urban and rural realities.

We will hear from startups and businesses that are already making a huge difference using in this space with digital tools.

We'll focus on solutions in three key areas:

- FinTech in a Smallholder World

Smallholder farmers contribute a large proportion of global agricultural output, but often lack access to formal financial services. Instead they operate in a highly cash-based informal sector, where credit is extended at very high interest rates. How can digital tools help integrate smallholders into the formal ecosystem?

> Demo by AgriON and CROWDE

- Challenges and Opportunities for SMEs in Urban and Rural Areas

In a competitive environment, SMEs require fast and reliable credit lines. However, regulations create delays and inconveniences. For example, in several countries, prospective debtors are required to be physically present at a bank branch. How can digital tools support KYC and compliance requirements to deliver a fast and secure way of doing business?

- Consumers and Health

Food products produced by smallholders in rural settings are consumed by urban consumers. What we eat, along with physical activity, has a major impact on our health. In the final section, we will hear from Omron about their health monitoring tools.
