The global spotlight will turn to Africa on May 22-23, 2025, as the RegTech Africa Conference and Awards convenes at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, to explore the transformative power of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in reshaping the continent’s economic future. Under the theme “Unlocking Africa’s Cross-Border Payments, Trade, and Investment Opportunities through Public-Private Partnerships,” this year’s event promises to ignite actionable dialogue, foster groundbreaking partnerships, and showcase cutting-edge solutions for Africa’s growth.
Organized by RegTech Africa, the premium event will convene over 1,000 global participants, including high-level policymakers, government leaders, global innovators, trade experts, investors, and industry leaders, to forge actionable solutions and build strategic partnerships.
A Call to Action: Harnessing Partnerships for Africa’s Prosperity
Africa is on the brink of unprecedented transformation, driven by a youthful population, a surge in digital innovation, and the unifying vision of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). However, persistent challenges—fragmented cross-border payment systems, complex trade barriers, and limited investment flows—continue to hinder the continent’s seamless integration into global markets.
“As Africa continues to take bold strides toward economic integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), collaboration between the public and private sectors is no longer optional—it’s essential,” said Cyril Okoroigwe, Chair, Organizing Committee, RegTech Africa Conference.
The 2025 RegTech Africa Conference and Awards will address these issues head-on by leveraging the unparalleled potential of PPPs. By combining public sector regulatory oversight with private sector agility and innovation, Africa can unlock scalable solutions to bridge infrastructural, regulatory, and technological gaps.
