Digital event
Africa’s digital economy: Where finance and fintech reconnect
Like many other events, the global pandemic has made us shift our premier financial services event to a digital experience for our African community this year. We still plan to bring together financial services professionals from over 55 countries across Africa, including financial institutions, market infrastructures, international corporations and technology partners to learn about the latest trends and shape the future of Africa’s financial industry.
