EMIs are being held back.

They have expanded financial access for millions, yet in many markets, regulation still limits them to basic payments, restricting their ability to scale, innovate and truly drive inclusion.
In our latest Digital Finance Dialogue, Shoukat Bizinjo, Dylan Lennox, Hellene Oger-Zaher and Pavel Shust explore how more flexible, risk-based approaches are enabling EMIs to grow and what needs to change to unlock their full potential.

The panel brought together diverse perspectives from regulators, EMI providers, and global institutions to share case studies, highlight best practices, and encourage peer learning.

Digital transformation is only as strong as the systems behind it.

Join us for a live Masterclass:
The Digital Backbone: Architecting Trust and Transactions in Modern States

📅 9 July 2026
⏰ 11:00 UTC

As countries move faster to digitise services, the real challenge is not just access, it is trust, interoperability and scale.

In this session, Robert Karanja, Founder of DPI4Africa, will unpack how governments can design Digital Public Infrastructure that works in practice, not just on paper.

You will explore:
✔ How digital identity builds trust at scale
✔ How real-time payments power inclusive economies
✔ Why governance is critical for privacy and resilience
✔ What it takes to move from policy to real-world implementation

With over 25 years of experience across government, private sector and international organisations, Robert brings grounded insights from across Africa and beyond.

If you are working in digital transformation, public policy, financial services or development, this session will give you a clear, practical view of what effective DPI looks like.

Where does Africa fit in the age of Agentic AI?

While AI leadership is often framed around compute and frontier models, Africa’s opportunity lies elsewhere.

From mobile money ecosystems like M-Pesa to rich, real-time behavioural data, the continent holds a powerful but underutilised advantage: data.

As AI shifts toward agentic systems, value is moving to the application layer—where Africa is already innovating across fintech, agriculture, health, and telecom.

The question is no longer about building models but building intelligent systems that scale in context.

Yesterday our team came together in the office to celebrate , and safe to say it was a sweet success!

From Swiss rolls and cupcakes to chicken pies and lamingtons, the table was filled with an incredible mix of baked treats. With a little bit of friendly competition, Caitlin's malva pudding and custard took the top spot in our Best Baked Good vote. 🏆

The result? Uneven progress and missed opportunity.

Join us on 19 May as we explore what’s working globally and what needs to change.
