Details

This event are unlocking new pathways for rapid economic growth, innovation, employment, and access to all forms of services in Africa. The internet penetration is a major facet that supports all verticals to enhance access of services, however Africa’s internet coverage still lags behind other regions, which creates a digital divide with the availability of services, and issues for the remote and poorer areas in many countries. This is the case with the financial services sector as well.
