Fintech continues to be Africa’s leading sector for investment, transforming how millions access capital, payments, and financial services. Yet the opportunity extends far beyond fintech alone—toward channeling capital into agriculture, cleantech, health, education, and other sectors that multiply impact.

This session brings together foundations, diaspora investors (beyond remittances), venture capitalists, development finance institutions, and fintech innovators to explore how Africa’s capital ecosystem can expand access, lower costs, and accelerate inclusive growth. Drawing from Silicon Valley’s venture capital culture and Africa’s rapidly growing innovation landscape, the conversation will highlight practical pathways for catalytic investments that deliver both measurable returns and lasting social impact.
