Africa’s future as a global economic leader will be in the spotlight as the RegTech Africa Conference and Awards 2025 takes place on May 22-23, 2025, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria. This premier event, themed “Unlocking Africa’s Cross-Border Payments, Trade, and Investment Opportunities through Public-Private Partnerships,” will explore the powerful role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in reshaping the continent’s economic landscape.
With over 1,000 global participants expected, including policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and innovators, the conference aims to spark impactful discussions and foster strategic collaborations.
Driving Africa’s Economic Integration
Africa stands at the threshold of remarkable economic transformation, fueled by a dynamic youth population, technological innovations, and the continent-wide African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). However, significant hurdles such as fragmented cross-border payment systems, complex trade barriers, and insufficient investment continue to hinder Africa’s seamless integration into global markets.
“As Africa continues to take bold steps toward economic integration through the AfCFTA, the need for public-private sector collaboration has never been more critical,” said Cyril Okoroigwe, Chair of the Organizing Committee for RegTech Africa Conference.
This year’s event will delve into how PPPs can provide scalable solutions to bridge the continent’s infrastructural, regulatory, and technological gaps, offering a path to unlock Africa’s full economic potential.
