As the digital revolution dawns on African financial services, the Stears Summit ‘Banking on FinTech: The Future of Money, Markets and Marketplaces’, aims to bring together key players from across finance and technology to discuss this technological revolution, its implications for the African market as well as the role of the government in African digital expansion.

The topics of the day will go beyond mobile technology to cover newer and growing fintech solutions such as data analytics, biometrics and identity management, artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology (blockchain) and cybersecurity.

 

FinTech Company Showcase

We will show, not just tell. Our audience of investors, investment professionals and technology enthusiasts will get the opportunity to witness showcases from five innovative FinTech companies working in:

  • protecting money or building wealth (investing and lending)
     

Our Company Showcase is open to companies leveraging technologies including: 

  • Big Data & Artificial Intelligence

  •  Distributed Ledger Technology or Cryptography; and

  •  APIs or Mobile driven technologies
