The agenda for the 3-day 3i Africa Summit will be unveiled today Monday May 13, at the Accra International Conference Centre. Participants will look at how to move Africa’s digital finance agenda forward.

With a turnout of over 4,000 participants, exceeding the initial target, the organizers – the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Development Bank Ghana (DBG), and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) subsidiary, Elevandi—are ready to deliver on their promises.

The Summit promises a diverse platform for policy discussions, entrepreneurial pursuits, and investment networking, fostering strategic alliances to nurture Africa’s flourishing digital economy and fintech sector.

Bringing together key players in finance, investment, policy, and digital technology domains, the Summit has an esteemed lineup, including heads of state, central bank governors, and industry leaders including Central Bank Governor Dr. Ernest Addison, Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso of Nigeria’s Central Bank, and Mr. John Rwangombwa of the National Bank of Rwanda.

Over the three days, participants will engage in over 15 sessions, covering over 60 topics to chart pathways to generate momentum and achieve progress, in line with the Summit’s theme: “Unleashing Africa’s Fintech and Digital economic potential.”

Sessions include “Capital meets Policy Dialogue,” “Fintech for Inclusion Forum,” “Agriculture and Fintech Forum,” and more, addressing critical issues such as data interoperability, digital trade, fintech policy, and workforce development.

The Summit aims to go beyond talk-shop discussions, packaging insights, solutions, and collaborative deals to unleash Africa’s fintech and economic potential. These outcomes will be shared with leaders in the finance, policy, and digital technology space for implementation, thanks to the efforts and commitment of the organisers.
