The second annual African Fintech Unconference will take place in Stellenbosch, South Africa, next month, it is aimed at encouraging collaboration between actors in the fintech space.

Co-convened by South African enterprise payments platform Nomanini, pan-African payments company MFS Africa and credit provider Tugende, the event is set for September 25-26 and will take place at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

As with the inaugural event, held in March 2017, this year’s Unconference agenda will be guided by African fintech innovators, Thought-leaders and entrepreneurs. Unlike traditional conference format, the event aims to create a space for open, dynamic dialogue and valuable interactions.

“The fast-moving and highly disruptive African fintech landscape is ripe for consolidation, and AFU18 will provide an important platform for discussion and information sharing – with the ultimate goal of boosting collaborative fintech partnerships across the continent,” said Vahid Monadjem, chief executive officer (CEO) of Nomanini.

“We are delighted to be a part of the second annual African Fintech Unconference, as it provides an unparallelled platform for discussion at a time when trusted partnerships are key to creating a healthy ecosystem for Africa’s fintech innovators,” said Dare Okoudjou, founder and CEO of MFS Africa.
