Africa Fintech Summit
AFTS (www.africafintechsummit.com) is the premiere global initiative dedicated to the African fintech ecosystem. AFTS is traditionally hosted in Washington, D.C., each April during the World Bank/IFC annual meeting week and in a different African city each November (most recently, Lagos and Addis Ababa). In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, AFTS has elected this year to host a single summit in Cairo, Egypt. Supported by an advisory board of thought leaders and fintech pioneers, AFTS is a unique space where innovative ideas are debated, investments mobilized, partnership deals signed, and collaborations formed across sectors and geographies. This year's AFTS is organized in partnership between Washington, D.C. strategic advisory group, Dedalus Global, and Pan-African investment advisory firm, Ibex Frontier.
