The Africa Fintech Summit, Africa’s most influential bi-annual confluence of regulators, policymakers, founders, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the globe, is excited to be back in the US Capital, hosting 2024’s first event at Halcyon House in Historical Georgetown.
The fintech industry in Africa has witnessed considerable innovation and development over the past 20 years.
