Following a historic breakfast briefing in Ottawa that brought together African ambassadors to Canada, Canadian institutional executives, and strategic private sector collaborators in a world-class gathering that many are referring to as historic, the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit entered an era of international relevance and diplomatic significance.

Ahead of the much-anticipated Canada-Africa Fintech Summit, the briefing, which was held in the Canadian capital on April 8, 2025, provided a unique forum for information sharing, strategy alignment, and regional mobilization.

The Canada-Africa Fintech Summit is a project of Canada Africa Fintech Summit Inc., a non-profit organization that was incorporated in Canada and whose mission is to promote, highlight, and carry out projects that increase the advantages and effects of the fintech ecosystems in Canada and Africa.

African High Commissioners and Ambassadors joined Canadian stakeholders to reaffirm their commitment to a transformational fintech discourse between Canada and Africa in a demonstration of unparalleled unity and ambition.

The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will attend the next summit, according to a statement made during the ceremony by Ambassador Abba Zanna-Kawu, Chargé d’Affaires of the Nigerian Embassy in Canada. This demonstrates Nigeria’s dedication to fortifying fintech ties with Canada; other African countries are anticipated to follow suit in due time.

Among the prominent attendees were Professor Tony Bailetti of Carleton University, a prominent figure in Canadian innovation and business, and Ambassador Prosper Higiro, the Rwandan High Commissioner to Canada and Dean of the African Diplomatic Corps.

One of the summit’s co-organizers, Cornelius Babalola, Chairman and CEO of Affinity Global, declared, “This is a world-class event in a class of its own.” President Segun Aina, who is regarded as the Grandmaster of African fintech, represented another co-organizer, Africa Fintech Network, a coalition of the digital finance and fintech ecosystem with a strong presence in over forty African nations.

The diplomatic presence, the strategic alignment, and the enthusiasm in the room all attest to the fact that the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit is not only necessary but also relevant.

African diplomats and Canadian leaders had a rare chance to discuss important topics pertaining to fintech, technological advancement, investment, and inclusive economic growth face-to-face at the breakfast briefing. The topics of discussion included digital infrastructure, financial inclusion, regulatory innovation, opening up cross-border opportunities, and how fintech might promote young employment and commerce between Canada and African countries.

Important ties between government officials, financial institutions, investors, and IT leaders were also made possible by the event, setting the stage for future bilateral and multilateral cooperation at the summit. The briefing highlighted Canada’s growing role as a gateway for Africa’s fintech innovation and expansion ecosystem, which is noteworthy.

As the excitement builds approaching the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit, slated for August 6th and 7th this year, the success of the unique high-level briefing session reinforces that all eyes are on Canada as a critical partner in Africa’s fintech transformation. High-level delegations are anticipated to attend the summit, including prominent stakeholders from Canada and Africa, heads of financial institutions, business executives from all economic sectors, and senior government officials.

The occasion will be seen as a turning point that took the fintech discussion between Canada and Africa from idea to action, fuelled by innovation, diplomacy, and mutual prosperity.
