THEME: UNLOCKING AFRICA’S CROSS-BORDER PAYMENTS, TRADE AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

Africa stands on the cusp of an unprecedented economic transformation, driven by the dynamism of its growing markets, youthful population, and the integration opportunities heralded by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Despite these prospects, the continent continues to grapple with long-standing barriers to seamless cross-border payments, limited trade infrastructure, and fragmented investment ecosystems. These challenges stifle intra-African commerce and impede Africa's global economic engagement.

The 2025 RegTech Africa Conference seeks to tackle these issues head-on under the theme: "Unlocking Africa’s Cross-Border Payments, Trade, and Investment Opportunities through Public-Private Partnerships." This theme underscores the pivotal role of collaborative synergies between governments and the private sector in addressing regulatory, technological, and infrastructural hurdles.

By leveraging innovative technologies such as blockchain, AI, and digital identity systems, and through strategically designed Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Africa has the opportunity to build a resilient, interoperable cross-border payment infrastructure that promotes trade facilitation, enhances financial inclusion, and attracts sustainable investments. PPPs provide a powerful mechanism to pool expertise, resources, and strategic vision, enabling a shared commitment to unlocking Africa's economic potential.

This theme also underscores the critical role of technology-driven solutions, such as RegTech, in harmonizing compliance standards across jurisdictions, reducing transactional friction, and ensuring transparency and trust in financial systems. By combining the innovation and agility of the private sector with the regulatory frameworks and strategic oversight of the public sector, PPPs offer a pathway to drive transformative outcomes, creating interoperable payment systems, harmonized trade policies, and a robust investment climate.

The 2025 RegTech Africa Conference will convene policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and investors to explore actionable strategies, foster meaningful dialogue, and ignite partnerships that bridge the gaps in Africa’s economic frameworks. By unlocking Africa’s trade and investment potential, we aim to drive inclusive economic growth and position the continent as a competitive player in the global economy.
