Most of the content will be geared towards our events including the flagship Afrifursa Fintech Summit.
The Afrifursa Fintech Summit is a unique platform that brings together Canadian and African fintech ecosystems for mutual benefit. This year our virtual event drew over 500 attendees from over 40 countries.
We're an organization that is focused on bringing together diverse stakeholders for equitable exchange; we’re building shared value between Canadian and African stakeholders to achieve a more just and sustainable future.
If you're passionate about exploring the exciting and impactful opportunities between Africa and Canada, then this is for you!
