World Financial Innovation Series Kenya
East Africa’s regional powerhouse, Kenya is now slowly becoming the fintech Mecca of the wider MEA region. An efficient gateway for investors and businesses, the country’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) is accepting applications for its regulatory sandbox throughout the year, thereby accommodating the latest emerging fintech innovations.
While “Fintech Kenya” has been the top buzzword within African Fintech Expos in 2024, the Silicon Savannah has been harnessing inexpensive, accessible tech to mobilize consumers. No wonder it raised $482 million through VC funding in just Q1 2022 and is expected to be one of the biggest contributors to African Fintech that’s projected to generate $65 billion by 2030.
The Government as well is leaving no stone unturned and has launched several mega scale initiatives like Digital Economy Blueprint, National Payments Strategy 2022 – 2025, Credit Guarantee Scheme and others to skyrocket fintech’s adoption in the public and private sector.
To provide a common platform for the country’s burgeoning FSI & Tech community, Tradepass is hosting World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) in Nairobi, Kenya on 16 – 17 July 2024. This iconic financial expo in Kenya will host over 500 technology and business heads from the leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across the country.
