The Africa Fintech Summit is the largest Pan-African initiative to bring together Africa’s top
fintech decision makers, regulators, investors and innovators to Nairobi this September 4-6, 2024 for their largest summit yet!
AFTS isn’t just another “tech conference” in Africa; AFTS is an endeavor to support financial technology which
drives forward sustainable economic growth and financial inclusion. One of the ways AFTS has been able to
accomplish this is by taking the necessary extra steps to directly engage regulators, bring new investors to the
ecosystem, and support early-stage entrepreneurs. Having directly assisted in bringing over $300M USD in
venture investment to the African continent, facilitating bi-lateral agreements between central banks, and assisting global firms with their company expansions, AFTS is dedicated to the advancement of Africa’s fintech industry.
In 2023, AFTS witnessed over 1,200 unique in-person delegates (1,400+ total) traveling from over 65 countries
to attend the summit. In one year, AFTS played a pivotal role in hosting USAID’s Tech for Trade Alliance launch,
helping facilitate AWS’ inaugural African Fintech Startup Loft Accelerator (SLA), and announcing the Ministry
of Technology & Science in Zambia’s groundbreaking smartphone factory. The AFTS initiative will continue to
expand in 2024 as we look forward to hosting the summit in Nairobi, Kenya in partnership with various ministries
and local governments in Kenya.
