Earlier in the day, President Kagame attended the second edition of the Inclusive FinTech Forum at the Kigali Convention Centre.
More than 2,500 global and regional leaders attended the forum aimed at harnessing fintech’s potential for economic inclusion and sustainable development.
“Indeed, with our continent’s young and tech-savvy population, Africa can compete with the rest of the world, and successfully innovate. When you look at our continent’s start-up ecosystem, fintechs continue to dominate,” Kagame said in a key note address.
He added that in recent years, the number of fintech companies in Africa has almost tripled, “These enterprises, big and small, are fundamentally reshaping our financial services sector.”
“Taking ownership of our development, is not something we can ask others to do for us. Business founders also need to do their part, and gain the confidence of investors. The bottom line, is that we need to work as one team, to build a more connected future,” President Kagame told participants at the forum.
