Africa Fintech Summit

Join other innovators, startups, corporations, financial service providers, tech companies, investors, and regulators as they share knowledge, zoom in on the trends, and opportunities informing the direction of fintech in Africa at the Africa Fintech Summit Nairobi 2024. And with over 100 Trend-Defining Speakers and 1,000+ Attendees from 60+ Countries projected to be in attendance, AFTS promises to be the perfect stage for these conversations. Since 2018, twice a year, we’ve brought together innovators from different financial and technology verticals to engage in thoughtfully designed community-oriented experiences. Each April, AFTS is a headlining sidelines event that holds during the Spring Meetings of The World Bank/IFC. And each H2, another edition takes place in a selected African country. Supported by an advisory board of thought leaders and fintech pioneers, the AFTS is a unique space where ideas are explored, investments mobilized, and collaborations formed across sectors and geographies. The AFTS is more than a conference—it’s an ecosystem-building initiative, with workshops, demos, pitch competitions, ecosystem tours, whitepapers, awards, and plenty of opportunities to collaborate with the investors and entrepreneurs shaping the future of African fintech. Over the past 10 summits, the AFTS has supported: • Over $80 million in capital raise efforts for African startups • Market entry for multinational corporations seeking to enter the regional fintech market • The launch of strategic partnerships and new businesses • Policy guideline creation • The growth of local tech and startup ecosystems • Knowledge sharing for African banking/fintech operators and regulators
