The Africa Money & DeFi Event, the Africa Startup Summit, and the Africa Mobile & App Summit, which unites IT leaders from all over the continent, are three of the tracks that make up the 2023 flagship summit. The Africa Money & DeFi Summit will continue to find new prospects in FinTech, Web3, and Decentralized Finance as the Fintech industry continues to grow by 20% annually, with the sector expected to reach $40 billion by 2025, according to MasterCard (DeFi).

The Africa Startup Summit, which brings together corporates, investors, and tech entrepreneurs, will highlight cutting-edge businesses while examining opportunities and issues facing the ecosystem. The Africa Mobile & App Summit will examine cutting-edge tools and techniques in the continent’s mobile ecosystem and share knowledge on emerging patterns and trends.
