SEM217: Shota Ishii, ProssimoTech: Optimizing Financial Supply Chains - a Network Modeling Approach

Pandemics, labor shifts, and geopolitics all represent significant long-term challenges for the global economy — and this shift toward a more uncertain world is leading to significant re-alignment of supply chains.  Currently, most modeling is focused around physical supply chains, but tremendous opportunities lie in unleashed "locked up cash" in financial supply chains -- i.e. the web of payments across multiple buyers and suppliers.  However, this requires the ability to model the flow of capital and risk through a complex network.  Shota will be presenting a non-academic, practitioner's perspective on some of the latest of the opportunities and approaches in modeling financial networks, and their applications in finance and industry.
