Africa Fintech Forum

The 3rd Edition of the Africa Fintech Forum is set to take place on 10th June 2025 in Cairo, Egypt, bringing together the brightest minds in the fintech industry from across the continent and beyond. Building on the resounding success of the Premier Africa Fintech Forum in Kenya in September 2024 and the 2nd Africa Fintech Forum, which concluded in February 2025 with official support from the regulator Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), we have created a new benchmark in the African continent for insightful discussions, impactful networking, and groundbreaking innovations in fintech. As Egypt continues to emerge as a key fintech hub, this conference will explore the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of financial technology in the region.
Egypt’s fintech industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, establishing itself as a pivotal sector within the country’s economy. The embedded finance sector is projected to grow by 32% in 2024, reaching a market value of $1.03 billion, with revenues expected to escalate to $6.43 billion by 2029. The Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) segment is also witnessing rapid expansion, with a forecasted 32.7% growth in 2025, reaching $1.67 billion, and projected to hit $4.74 billion by 2030. The digital payments sector is another major contributor, with transaction values expected to reach $31.31 billion in 2025 and an annual growth rate of 33.68% leading to a projected total of $100 billion by 2029. Additionally, Egypt’s fintech startup ecosystem has expanded fivefold in the past five years, now consisting of 177 companies operating in over 14 fintech sub-sectors. However, despite the strong growth, fintech investment in Egypt saw an 87% year-over-year decline in the first half of 2024, signalling a need for continuous innovation and adaptation
