供應鏈金融（Supply Chain Finance）突破了傳統金融機構的融資模式，將核心企業和其上、下游中小企業結合，並提供資金以及金融服務。除了將資金有效注入供應鏈中以解決中小企業融資的困難，金融機構更可以透過供應鏈金融將徵信機制從核心企業導入上、下游企業，掌握並加強其商業信用，也可以達到更好的風險控管，進而促進供應鏈的合作關係，提升供應鏈的競爭能力。發展至今，供應鏈金融已擁有完整的框架與成熟的理論，而近年來隨著新興科技如人工智能（Artificial Intelligence）、區塊鏈（Blockchain）、大數據（Big Data）、雲端計算（Cloud Computing）、物聯網（Internet of Things）的發展，以及金融科技公司、電子商務公司的快速興起，為供應鏈中的金融機構、核心企業、中小企業以及物流機構的金融服務提供了新的助力與視野。
本論文透過理論分析區塊鏈應用在供應鏈金融中所擁有的潛力，以及應用區塊鏈技術可以對供應鏈金融流程提供的優化，並且帶給供應鏈金融新的發展。同時透過個案訪談做研究探討，分析本國在未來區塊鏈技術在供應鏈金融的發展規劃與運用，以及對於供應鏈企業融資的效率性、流程的優化與透明化，是否能夠做到整體性的提升與改善，並且成為成功的區塊鏈金融科技應用。

Supply chain finance changes the financing method of traditional financial institutions by combining core business enterprises with their SMEs, and provides capital and financial services. In addition to effectively providing funds into the supply chain to solve the financing difficulties of SMEs, financial institutions can use the supply chain finance to import credit investigation from core business enterprises to their upstream and downstream enterprises, also achieve a better risk management. Which in turn promotes the cooperation and the competitiveness of supply chain. Nowadays, not only the supply chain finance has a complete framework and theory, with the developing technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and the rapid rise of Fintech companies and e-commerce companies, it also provides a new mode of services for financial institutions, core business enterprises, and SMEs in the supply chain.
This thesis analyzes the potential of combining blockchain with supply chain finance, and whether or not it can optimize the process and bring new development to the supply chain finance. Meanwhile, through a case study and interview to research the future development and application of blockchain technology in supply chain finance, also analyze whether or not it can improve the process, efficiency, and transparency of supply chain finance as it becomes a successful Fintech application.
