Kigali To Host Inclusive Fintech Forum 2026, Convening Global Leaders To Shape The Future Of Inclusive Finance
Despite rapid innovation in financial technology, nearly 300 million adults across Africa remain unbanked, most of them in rural and low-income communities. This persistent gap highlights both the urgency of financial inclusion and the scale of opportunity ahead. With Africa’s fintech revenues projected by McKinsey to grow almost fivefold, from approximately US$10 billion in 2023 to US$47 billion by 2028, the continent stands at a pivotal moment where innovation, policy, and capital must converge to ensure inclusive growth.
Against this backdrop, the Inclusive FinTech Forum (IFF) 2026 will convene from 10–12 March 2026 at the Kigali Convention Centre, bringing together more than 3,000 global leaders from finance, policymaking, technology, and innovation. The Forum will focus on advancing inclusive, resilient, and sustainable financial systems across Africa and other emerging markets.
