EVENT: The 2019 Africa Fintech Summit (AFTS)
DATE: November 21, 2019
VENUE: Sharton Addis Hotel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
ALEXANDRIA, VA (Dedalus Global) – The Africa Fintech Summit (AFTS) has announce that Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, is the host city for the 2019 Africa Fintech Summit (AFTS). As Africa’s fastest growing economy and the continent’s second most populous country, Ethiopia is at the precipice of unprecedented change. Thanks to extensive infrastructure investments across the last two decades, an ambitious structural reform agenda, partial privatization of the national telecom monopoly and the addition of two new providers, imminent liberalization in the financial sector, and a clear embrace of innovation as an economic driver, Ethiopia presents unparalleled opportunities for investment, entrepreneurship, and innovation in fintech.
The Africa Fintech Summit will gather disruptors, tech and finance professionals, regulators, and investors from across Africa and the world in Africa’s political capital, Addis Ababa. Join AFTS on November 21, 2019.
