As Africa’s digital economy expands, how do we ensure that opportunity reaches everyone? 🚀 We are currently exploring "Inclusion, Local Talent and Mobility: Expanding Access to Opportunity Across Africa." Our panellists are discussing equity-driven talent development, with a vital focus on empowering women in tech. The conversation covers everything from regional mobility and talent exchange programmes to the scalable support ecosystems, mentorship, coaching, and sponsorship needed for sustainable career growth. 📱 It is time to move from discussing inclusion to implementing practical strategies that strengthen local talent across the continent. #InclusiveFinTechForum #IFF2026

The structural integrity of Africa’s fintech ecosystem is fundamentally linked to the caliber of technical leadership and engineering expertise developed within the continent. We are proud to welcome Carnegie Mellon University Africa (@cmu_africa) as a Silver Partner for #IFF2026. CMU-Africa is educating a diverse composition of future leaders from all over Africa, who will use their hands-on skills and knowledge to advance technology innovation and grow businesses. The "skills chasm" represents a strategic barrier for advancements in AI and data science, demanding a renewed commitment to world-class, localized technical education. By aligning university curricula with real-world market demands, we create a seamless pipeline of skilled professionals ready to tackle the continent's unique technological challenges from day one.

Digital Public Infrastructure is redefining how societies connect and create opportunity. From digital IDs and payment systems to secure data exchanges, DPI is enabling countries to deliver services faster, empower citizens and build resilient economies. As the @GlobalDPISummit kicks off today, leaders and innovators are coming together to shape the next phase of inclusive digital transformation. Join the sessions online and be part of the conversation on how digital systems can unlock opportunities for all.

Let’s talk about Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), the invisible framework powering inclusive digital economies. DPI connects core systems, including online identity, digital payments and electronic data exchange, that enable people to access services securely and seamlessly. The Gates Foundation supports programs that strengthen this infrastructure, helping countries build systems that extend financial access, drive innovation and empower the most underserved to participate fully in the digital economy.

When Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) meets leadership, inclusion scales. In Rwanda, @RISARwanda and Sharon Umunyana are deploying @mojaloop to build an inclusive instant payments system that cuts costs, retains national ownership and keeps data secure. As we head into the @GlobalDPISummit 2025, it is clear that with open, interoperable DPI, governments can connect citizens to safe, affordable financial services, empowering women, small businesses and families to fully participate in the digital economy.
