Agenda
TRACK OVERVIEW
Infrastructure & Interoperability
Power, Policy, and Platforms: Connecting Existing Infrartuctures or Starting from Scratch?
Africa’s digital transformation is constrained by fragmented systems, weak connectivity, and limited interoperability between markets and service providers. Without robust digital infrastructure, the dream of a unified digital economy remains out of reach. This panel will explore how scalable infrastructure, shared platforms, and policy harmonization can unlock seamless digital ecosystems, drive innovation, and enable inclusive growth across borders.
Digital Financial Inclusion
From Access to Impact: Accelerating Economic Inclusion for Sustainable Growth
Nigeria has made significant progress in expanding access to digital finance, yet millions remain financially excluded from formal financial systems, stifling economic participation and prosperity. Despite fintech growth, structural barriers — from digital literacy gaps to policy fragmentation — persist.
This session will address how technology, innovation, and inclusive regulation can break these barriers, bringing affordable and accessible financial services to every corner of the continent. A financially inclusive Africa is essential for a truly borderless economy.
Digital Assets & Regulation
Moving beyond fear and bans: How Clear Digital Asset Regulations Can Unlock FDI in Africa
Moving beyond fear and bans—how can proactive, clear Blockchain and Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regulation be deliberately used to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and create high-value jobs?
This session challenges policymakers and regulators to rethink their approach: how can transparent, well-structured digital asset frameworks attract global investors, build market confidence, and position Africa as the next frontier for compliant crypto and blockchain innovation?
Cross-Border Payments & Harmonization
Trading Without Borders: Why Is Moving Money Across Africa Still So Hard?
Fragmented payment systems and currency barriers continue to undermine intra-African trade and regional integration. Despite the promise of the AfCFTA, seamless cross-border payments remain a major challenge. Regulatory misalignment, legacy systems, and limited interoperability continue to frustrate businesses and consumers alike.
This panel will explore strategies for policy alignment, payment interoperability, and regional infrastructure that can power a truly borderless African economy — one where money moves as freely as ideas and goods.
AML & KYC (Anti-Money Laundering & Know Your Customer)
Dirty Money or Due Diligence: Balancing Privacy and Compliance in Combating Illicit Finance in a Borderless Economy
Weak compliance systems, inconsistent KYC standards, and limited digital identity frameworks expose Africa’s financial systems to risk and exclusion. Strengthening AML and KYC is critical not only for combating financial crime but also for fostering trust, security, and cross-border collaboration.
This session will explore how digital identity, data governance, and regulatory cooperation can create a trusted financial ecosystem fit for the digital age.
Cybersecurity & Data Protection
Fraud in Fintech Lending: Digital Credit and the Risk of Default and Scams
As digital lending and microcredit platforms expand across Africa, they are increasingly targeted by sophisticated fraud schemes, identity manipulation, and default risks. This panel will examine how fintechs, regulators, and financial institutions can implement robust cybersecurity measures, smarter KYC protocols, and risk management strategies to protect both lenders and borrowers. The discussion will explore practical solutions to ensure trust, financial inclusion, and sustainable growth in Africa’s rapidly evolving digital credit ecosystem.
