Delegates from around the world have begun gathering in Kigali for the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 (IFF2026), a high-profile event that explores how technology and innovative financial solutions can transform economies across Africa.
Over the coming days, the forum will host discussions and panels focused on how fintech and innovative finance can accelerate financial inclusion, attract investment, and strengthen economic resilience. Participants will include policymakers, financial technology leaders, investors, and development partners, all collaborating to identify strategies that make financial systems more accessible, secure, and efficient.
Organisers say the forum provides a unique platform for sharing insights, exploring new business models, and fostering partnerships that support both local and regional economic growth. Delegates will also examine the role of emerging technologies, such as digital payments, blockchain, and AI-driven financial services, in improving access to affordable financial products for underserved populations.
As Kigali hosts this global gathering, the event is expected to reinforce the city’s position as a hub for innovation, investment, and inclusive economic development across the continent.
