Specialized machinery leasing: risk management and sustainability in an unstable environment

Co-organizer: United Leasing Association (OLA)

Savings and efficient use of working capital remain key factors for sustainability and growth for businesses of all sizes. Specialized machinery leasing is one of the main tools for upgrading production capacities without significant one-time investments. Today, it plays a special role in implementing industry tasks and national projects.
At the same time, the leasing market faces a number of challenges affecting both lessors and clients: from changes in financing conditions and operational risks to the need to adapt regulations and insufficient digitalization.
During the session, representatives of leading leasing companies, operators of government support programs and consumers of specialized machinery from key industries will discuss current trends and changes in the leasing industry, practices for effective management of leasing instruments, government support mechanisms and their role in upgrading machinery, as well as the potential of leasing in the context of import substitution and localization of foreign companies.

Topics for discussion:

• Key challenges in the leasing industry from the perspective of the lessor and the consumer.
• Innovations in specialized machinery leasing: how digitalization changes processes and reduces leasing risks.
• Impact of specialized machinery leasing on import substitution and localization.
• Leasing with government support: new programs for preferential leasing of municipal, road construction and agricultural machinery.
• Innovative financing models (operating leasing, rent-to-own, flexible payment schemes).
• Ecological aspects of leasing: how financial mechanisms stimulate environmentally friendly solutions.
