Launches Regtech Rockster Awards to celebrate excellence in regulatory innovation.
LAGOS – NIGERIA:
Digital financial services hold great promise as a means to enable financial inclusion and thus help improve people’s lives. However, cybercrime has become a key concern in developing and emerging markets and is threatening to hinder global advances in building more inclusive digital society. Whilst governments in emerging markets are starting to implement cyber security strategies with the aim of setting standards for risk management and providing clarity regarding liabilities, effective monitoring require new expertise and resources for sustainability.
Against this background, The RegTech Africa Conference 2023 is set to harness the nexus between financial inclusion, consumer protection and cybersecurity for inclusive and sustainable digital growth.
RegTech Africa Conference is the premier platform with the power to influence change for regulators, regulated and key industry stakeholders to engage, collaborate and share knowledge around new technologies and practices that support better regulations.
The maiden edition of the conference held in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was hugely successful and boasts of high-level representation of businesses and regulators across key sectors such as financial services, technology, telecommunications and Venture capital companies.
