At the Exile Group, we’re committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the export, project, and commodities finance industries. With this in mind, we are delighted to formalise our 'Rising Star' initiative for 2025, as well as making several commitments to ensure that women’s voices are included in every conversation.
We understand that there is a wealth of talent at the more entry or junior level in may of the institutions we work with. However, we appreciate it is often difficult for them to get the budget to attend events.
Therefore, we would like to encourage our event partners to nominate a ‘rising star' candidate who can make use of a free ticket to join our events in 2025.
We anticipate the candidate would ordinarily be 18-26 years old and someone who would otherwise not be able to attend an event, but if there are exceptions to this within the spirit of the scheme, then of course we will try to be accommodating as possible. At the Global conference, we will also organise a separate networking reception for all the Rising Talent attendees, so they can have the chance to meet with each other.
Apply for a Rising Star ticket to join this event! Please use the nominee's details when making the application. We will get in touch with the nominee directly to let them know if their application for a free ticket has been successful.

We are committed to ensuring female representation on all panel and workshop discussions at events as well as working with local companies at our regional events to ensure strong representation from the local community. At each event we work with Women in Export & Infrastructure Finance (WEXIF) to run dedicated sessions which bring together influential female leaders and rising talents in export, project, and infrastructure finance to drive industry innovation, foster mentorship, and promote diversity.
Nominate yourself or a colleague to speak at an event or take part in a WEXIF session.
“Thank you for the excellent organization before and during the conference. It was UNBELIEVABLE!”
“The energy, the connections, and the insights shared were simply unparalleled. Two days were just not enough to fully absorb the wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities!”
