Organized by BII Global, the forum will be held at Villa Rosa Kempinski, Nairobi, Kenya, and will convene leading voices from across the fintech ecosystem, including regulators, banking leaders, digital innovators, and technology providers.

With the theme “Empowering Innovation, Driving Inclusion: The Future of Fintech in Africa,” the forum will explore critical developments shaping the continent’s financial landscape. Key discussions will focus on regulatory advancements, real-time payment infrastructure, digital identity, alternative data in lending, and the evolution of embedded finance.

The agenda features a series of high-impact keynotes, panel discussions, and fireside chats led by distinguished speakers from leading financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and fintech organizations. Topics include Africa’s digital asset future, financial inclusion strategies, AI-driven credit systems, and cross-border payment ecosystems aligned with AfCFTA goals.

The event is supported by the Association of Fintechs in Kenya (AFIK) and will also host the AFF Awards & Recognition Ceremony, celebrating excellence and innovation across the fintech sector.
