Scheduled for May 22–23, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, and themed “Unlocking Africa’s Cross-Border Payments, Trade, and Investment Opportunities through Public-Private Partnerships,” this year’s conference will serve as a game-changing moment for fintech startups across the continent. With industry regulators, policymakers, investors, and technology pioneers coming together, the conference is set to foster the next wave of fintech innovation and regulatory synergy.

The fintech revolution has brought millions into the financial system, yet regulatory uncertainty and infrastructure gaps continue to hinder growth. The RegTech Africa Conference is designed to bridge these gaps, offering fintech startups a unique opportunity to align their solutions with the regulatory frameworks that govern Africa’s digital economy.

Cyril Okoroigwe, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, emphasizes the critical role of regulatory technology in driving sustainable fintech innovation: “The fintech ecosystem cannot thrive in isolation. Startups need a regulatory environment that supports innovation while ensuring consumer protection and financial stability. This conference is where regulation meets innovation, creating a pathway for scalable, compliant, and impactful fintech solutions.”
