The Inclusive FinTech Forum (IFF) 2025 is set to take place from 24 to 26 February 2025 at the Kigali Convention Centre in Rwanda. This pivotal event seeks to unite policymakers, investors, fintech entrepreneurs, and leaders from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe to discuss and promote financial inclusion through innovative technologies. Organised by the Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC), the National Bank of Rwanda, and the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), the forum aims to foster cross-continental collaboration and knowledge exchange.

The forum’s theme, “Empowering Economic Inclusion Through Accelerated Technology Adoption,” underscores the critical role of fintech in driving sustainable development and economic growth. Attendees can anticipate high-level dialogues on topics such as digital inclusion, policy and regulation, and capital market stability. The event will also explore the transformative potential of digital assets in Africa and delve into cross-border innovation and investment opportunities.

Key programmes include the Capital Meets Policy Dialogue (Africa), which brings together policymakers and investors to strategise on fintech growth in Africa, and Startup Founders Day featuring Founders Peak, showcasing the journeys of Africa’s fintech entrepreneurs. Additionally, the forum will offer workshops, roundtables, and networking events designed to address regulatory challenges and highlight the latest fintech innovations.
