The main goal for this project is to setup successful Afri Future Tech Summit. This is our flagship event which happens in-person in Toronto, Canada.

The Afri Future Tech Summit is a unique platform that brings together Canadian and African fintech ecosystems for mutual benefit. Over the past 3 years our event has drawn over 1000 attendees from over 40 countries; for our next summit we will be hosting a hybrid experience at hte University of Toronto's Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus.

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!
