This opening keynote sets the tone for the track by positioning financial inclusion not merely as access to accounts, but as a catalyst for economic mobility, enterprise growth, resilience, and innovation.
It will address:
- The evolution from “access” to active usage and financial health
- The role of digital finance in reducing inequality
- How African institutions are shaping global innovation models
- Why collaboration between telecoms, banks, DFIs, regulators, and startups is critical
