As a partner of the International Commodities Show, Richard brings extensive maritime expertise, international industry relationships and a strong understanding of the security and operational challenges affecting global trade.
Together, the partners recognised the need for an event that would bring the entire commodities ecosystem together—not only traders, but also banks, universities, maritime professionals and service providers that play a critical role in the sector.
Their mission is to create a platform in Geneva where:
• Trading companies can exchange ideas and develop new business opportunities.
• Banks and trade finance providers can connect with clients.
• Universities and students can gain direct exposure to the industry.
• Professionals at every level—from junior talent to senior executives—can meet, learn and collaborate.
The International Commodities Show is more than a conference. It is a meeting place for the global commodities community, held during Geneva Commodities Week to benefit from the city’s unique position as a leading hub for international trade.
