The invitation

Building on a sold-out first year

Following the success of our inaugural Africa Fintech Fest London last year, Royal Park Partners and Quona Capital invite you to join our second annual gathering in London.

Our first event brought together an outstanding line-up of speakers and a room full of leading founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders building in and for Africa. The gathering was oversubscribed, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees — and we're looking forward to building on that momentum this year.

Once again, this exclusive gathering unites leading industry executives, strategists, and innovators for a dynamic programme of insightful discussions and valuable networking. We can't wait to welcome you back.
