AFIS, the African Financial Summit platform, supports the transformation of Africa’s financial industry by bringing public authorities and private-sector leaders together to address shared challenges and opportunities. Its work focuses on building a more resilient, inclusive, innovative and integrated pan-African financial services sector through dialogue, collaboration and practical solutions. The platform’s annual two-day summit convenes more than 1,200 senior participants, including bankers, insurers, fintech innovators, mobile money operators, capital market experts, policymakers and regulators.

Its program features high-level discussions, panels, round tables, keynotes, masterclasses and other sessions covering economic stability, banking, capital markets, sustainability, insurance, fintech and digital finance. AFIS also facilitates more than 500 business meetings each year, creating opportunities for business-to-business and business-to-government engagement, partnerships and cross-border collaboration. In partnership with Forvis Mazars, it presents the AFIS Awards across seven categories to recognize companies and individuals contributing to the sector’s growth and transformation.

By connecting African financial leaders with global participants, AFIS provides a forum for strategic exchange and greater visibility for the industry
