Through a strategic partnership with Congo Business Network, the AFTS seeks to engage Congolese professionals and entrepreneurs who are working to revolutionize the pan-African technology ecosystem<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On April 11, tech and finance leaders from across Africa and the U.S. will gather at the Institute of Peace in Washington, DC to discuss the future of financial technology. Among its strategic partners is Congo Business Network, an international network of Congolese professionals and entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial technology, or fintech, is disrupting banking, finance, and even money as we know it. It\u2019s a global phenomenon, but in Africa more than anywhere, the impact has the potential to be both socially and economically transformative. This is especially true in Congo, where tech entrepreneurs are pioneering mobile-first platforms that are reversing a legacy of financial exclusion and limited banking infrastructure. Opportunities for innovation and investment abound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AFTS is designed to gather these innovators, together with investors, regulators, and policy makers, to discuss the growth of these technologies in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over $2 billion in private equity and venture capital funding will be represented at this year\u2019s AFTS, along with startups from across the continent and representatives from several African central banks. Focus areas include the future of banking, venture capital, policy and regulation, blockchain, digital identity, remittances, and financial inclusion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About the Africa Fintech Summit:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AFTS is the premier global initiative dedicated to fintech in Africa. It is held each April in Washington, DC, and each November in a different city in Africa. Supported by an advisory board of thought leaders and fintech pioneers, the AFTS is a unique space where ideas are explored, investments mobilized, and collaborations formed across sectors and geographies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About Congo Business Network:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/congobusinessnetwork\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congo Business Network<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an international network of Congolese professionals and entrepreneurs.
