Sweetbridge EMEA builds ecosystems out of value chains by partnering with other technology providers, financial services companies and early industry adopters.
Watch our short video to see how it works.
Turning collaborative consortiums
into thriving ecosystems.
These ecosystems implement incentive systems that encourage everyone
to find ways to lower the cost of goods and services for other members whilst
creating new forms of profit that are shared by all ecosystem members.
We turn networks into value on the balance sheet.
Increase your profit margins up to 100% by converting your value chain into an ecosystem.
These ecosystems implement incentive systems that encourage everyone to find ways to lower the cost of goods and services for other members whilst creating new forms of profit that are shared by all ecosystem members.
How it works
Our ecosystems use tech to enable multiple independent entities to act as one using incentive systems. These incentive systems benefit and promote each contributor in the network.
These ecosystems can negotiate with the power of the whole network with integrated working capital formation and purchase agreements enabling:
- Working capital financing
- Integrated Supply Chain
- Shared IT systems, security and accounting
- Common contracts and Dispute resolutions
- Supply Chain Management and Procurement
- Risk Management and Business insurance
- Real-time Audits and Process Proofs
